CELEBRATION + INSPIRATION for her.
About.
In 2007, we launched Canada’s first magazine for female entrepreneurs (For Her Magazine, now COCOLILY Magazine) — a pioneering blend of business and lifestyle content that celebrated women who lead, create, and inspire. As the first of its kind, we set the standard—and have often been imitated—yet our vision has always remained original, intentional, and unapologetically elegant.
Take a look at our first covers from 2007 and 2008. Back then, with no Instagram or social media, we kept these issues in perfect shape—a glimpse into the very beginnings of our journey and growth.

That early publication laid the foundation for a movement: not just a magazine, but 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 the pages of a magazine to create immersive experiences, curated products, bespoke creative services, and a luxurious Petite product line—all designed to help women build lives and brands they truly love.
At COCOLILY & CO., we believe 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 inspiring editorial content to magazine design, sales representation, bespoke merchandise, our Petite Magazine and product collection, we create every touchpoint to elevate and celebrate stories with intention, grace, and style.

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 assist you on your journey, authentically & creatively -- helping you grow both the brand and the life you love, with intention, grace, and style.
COCOLILY & CO. is more than a magazine or a brand—it’s a community celebrating women who lead, create, and inspire, where elegance meets purpose.
From pioneering the first magazine for female entrepreneurs in 2007 to establishing the full COCOLILY & CO. brand in 2012, we have been setting the standard in elegant, elevated business storytelling. Often imitated, never duplicated, we continue to inspire, elevate, and honor 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.”
