We LOVE our new location which features a vibrant lounge, kids’ area, and huge shopping space with an array of top-quality products for women of all ages and sizes! Additionally, we completed construction on a 15,000-square-foot warehouse in the spring of 2019. We began construction of our free-standing Lauriebelles location in 2017 and settled into our new 6000-square-foot “home” in 2018. Hence came the discussion of building our very own, customized location. location in Tea, we had maxed out on the space available to us. We grew quickly and after 3 years of constant expansion at our Brian St. Ha! Within a few months, a storefront became a must. I quickly attained my seller’s license, and off I went! The initial plan was to be an online shop, but locals quickly became interested in shopping in person, so my basement became a shopping destination in Tea. I was always an avid shopper (sorry Scott) and felt I had a good eye for fashion, so I thought maybe I could do something with those skills.

I had hit a point in my life where I was searching for something (career-wise) but knew my heart wasn’t in teaching anymore. Previously, I was a special education teacher and full-time mama to my beautiful boys. Lauriebelles came to fruition in 2013 after I decided it was time to head back to the working world.
