Lesliene Robinet the owner and designer of Eloi Designs, remembers her first "real" church hat, purchased by her mother. It was at the home of a woman, who made church hats from her basement, catering to different women and making them happy with their new hat. The experience allowed her to see a whole other world; it was a colorful, creative, WONDERFUL World. At the tender age of twelve years old, she began making hats for family, friends, and members of her church and other churches.

That experience, left a desire for her own business. It was after much thought and prayer when Lesliene was in her late teens when she gave a name to her future business. Which means, My God Designs. It wasn't until the winter of 2004 when she made her dream a reality with the encouragement of her then fiancé, and gave life to ELOI DESIGNS. The rest is history.
