In Hampton, a gorgeous bayside suburb of Melbourne, a new store that goes beyond the standard retail front is LULA Lifestyle & Wellbeing; a total lifestyle, fashion and wellbeing concept boutique that was born out of a lifelong passion of fashion, health and wellbeing from owner, Rosie Condo.
Rosie is well known in Hampton after having run many fashion brands and boutiques over the past 20 years, including Vintage Rose.
Rosie’s vision evolved organically to create not only a gorgeous shop interior (think cream palettes broken up by splashes of bright colours courtesy of jewellery and clothing, and a stunning crystal chandelier) but a complete inner sanctuary to cover all your wants and moods. Not only can you shop for beautiful fashion, both local brands and LULA’s own (Spring/Summer to be launched soon) and jewellery, but there is an entire offering of wellbeing and spiritual products to suit your needs. The LULA range (completely hand made in the workshop above the store, so rare these days) includes LULA Emotive Candles, with crystals embedded at the bottom, LULA Crystal Essence Oral Drops, for an extra boost of concentration, love, balance; whatever you may be lacking. LULA also stocks popular essential oil brand InEssence, as well as others.
What really completes the concept is the treatment rooms at the rear of the store. Tucked away behind the register is a curtain to a small sitting room, complete with beautiful corner beach seating and tea table, where you can await your relaxing treatment and unwind prior with some herbal tea. From relaxing hot stone massages to Reiki and intuitive healings, the LULA wellbeing menu is expertly planned for your needs. (Stay tuned for a treatment review, coming to the beauty pages soon).
If you’re ever down Hampton Street in Melbourne, make sure to pop into LULA and experience what we at Onya love; a local, homegrown business passionate about making its customers lives more beautiful, both inside and out.
LULA has an online store if you are not local to Melbourne; mylula.com
