Lidia is a self-taught crochet artist and the heart of By Lidia. Now over 90 years old, she hand-crochets every piece individually - roosters, lanterns, flowers, and more - using techniques she has refined over decades. Her daughter Jennifer, a regular 52 GAGE client, introduced Lidia's work to the store so it could be shared with a wider audience.

Yes. Because every piece is hand-crocheted by Lidia alone, no two are exactly alike. Small natural variations in stitch, colour, and form are part of what makes each By Lidia piece genuinely unique - you are not buying a product, you are acquiring a singular handmade object.

Yes. A meaningful portion of proceeds from By Lidia sales supports a local Hong Kong charity chosen by Jennifer. Every purchase contributes directly to this cause.

Hand wash gently in cool water using a mild detergent. Do not wring or tumble dry. Reshape the piece while still damp and dry it flat on a clean towel. This preserves the shape and integrity of the hand-crocheted fibres.

Yes. If you are purchasing as a gift, please let us know at merci@52gage.com and we can include a personal note or arrange appropriate gift presentation. By Lidia pieces make exceptional, heartfelt gifts.
