Hello, my name is Ali, and I live near the seaside with my husband and my two daughters Lily & Stella. After a decade of sitting behind a corporate desk I decided to take the big plunge and follow my childhood dream of becoming a shopkeeper (eek!).

The name for my shop was inspired by Mamo (my little girl's Granny), as she fondly refers to my girls as ‘Lily Lou’ and ‘Stella Belle’. My little shop offers a carefully chosen selection of treasures including children’s clothing, interiors, toys and keepsakes. These are timeless items from around the world which make the perfect gift and can be passed onto future generations.

I am passionate about sharing brands that are unique and beautifully designed. I also strive to stock brands that have an eco friendly sustainable approach to materials and production.

Thank you so much for visiting Lou and Belle.
