CELEBRATION + INSPIRATION for her.
About.
In 2007, we launched Canada’s first magazine for female entrepreneurs (For Her Magazine, now COCOLILY Magazine). It was a pioneering blend of business and lifestyle content, celebrating women who lead, create, and inspire. As the first of its kind, it set the standard and has often been imitated, yet our vision has always remained original, highly curated, and unapologetically elegant.
Take a look at our first covers from 2007 and 2008. Without Instagram or social media, we kept these issues in perfect condition — a window into the beginnings of our journey and the early steps of growth.

That early publication laid the foundation for more than a magazine. It became a community and a platform for women building meaningful businesses and lives.
By 2012, this vision formally became COCOLILY & CO., a collective lifestyle and creative brand dedicated to ambitious women. From that moment on, we expanded beyond print to create immersive experiences, curated products, bespoke creative services, and our luxurious Petite product line, all designed to help women build lives and brands they love.
At COCOLILY & CO., depth is the new currency, and elegance always meets purpose. This is where business meets balance, soulful entrepreneurship is celebrated, and community, connection, and personal growth are at the heart of every experience. From editorial content to magazine design, bespoke merchandise, and curated events, every touchpoint is designed to elevate and celebrate stories with style and grace.

Note from Renee, Founder/Creative Director
Based in Toronto, I have been designing and creating for over fifteen years. Throughout this journey, I have seen trends come and go, while timeless classics always remain and, along the way, I have learned so many new things.
Life has brought its challenges—personal, health-related, and everything in between—but one thing has remained clear: no matter the obstacles, you are never alone. This understanding inspired me to build COCOLILY & CO. in 2012, a community dedicated to supporting, celebrating, and inspiring women on their entrepreneurial journeys.
My goal is to guide you authentically and creatively, helping you grow both the brand and the life you love, with elegance and grace.
COCOLILY & CO. is more than a magazine or a brand.
It is a community that celebrates women who lead, create, and inspire, where elegance meets purpose. From pioneering Canada’s first magazine for female entrepreneurs in 2007 to building the full COCOLILY & CO. brand in 2012, we have set the standard in elevated business storytelling. Often imitated and never duplicated, we continue to honor and inspire every story of modern womanhood and entrepreneurship.
“Rooted in support and inspired by connection, this space was created so you could rise with grace—and never alone.”
