Clothes to sigh for: Louis Who
It was champagne corks popping at the March 23 launch of the Old School Collective, with Waikuku Primary School former pupil and The Hits Christchurch DJ, Brodie Kane, emceeing the event.
The Old School Collective comprises a hair salon, florist, yoga studio, antique shop, outdoor furniture shop, café and edgy, high fashion clothing boutique Louis Who. The owner of Louis Who, Lisa Willetts, visits Melbourne four times yearly to source her merchandise. “Everything I buy is one season ahead, so that my customers are right up to date with current overseas trends,” Lisa says.
Labels such as Custommade, Rude Riders, Blaumax, Crossley, and Haikure, give an idea of the quality European ‘one-off’ clothing that is found here. With an emphasis on gorgeous, natural fabrics, these should be considered as affordable investment pieces for your wardrobe.
For girls who adore fashion but are on a budget, Lisa has a good range of preloved clothing, featuring names like Trelise Cooper, Elk, Karen Walker and Camilla, to name a few. “I’m very fussy about what comes into my preloved range; there’s nothing over two seasons old,” Lisa says.
If it’s a complete outfit you’re after, browse Lisa’s scarves, belts, bags and footwear for inspiration. Not forgetting your home, the Eight and Bob scented candles and infusers are fragrantly divine.
So, ladies, what are you waiting for? Round up the girlfriends and point your car north. Located at 1/1429 Main North Road and on Facebook @louiswhoclothing.
