The Wanderlust Collection-How It Began

Wanderlust- "A strong desire to travel."

As soon as I landed in Bali I knew we had made the right decision booking a holiday there. When you have travelled 18 hours in total and are immediately offered a refreshing cocktail on arrival at the first hotel (despite it being 4am Bali time) and goodness knows what time in my head, you know that you are going to be looked after! 

From a young age I have always dreamed of owning my own business and have had a keen eye for detail and an interest in retail since I worked for Newlook when I was 16. I had a notebook in Bali that I filled with ideas throughout my trip to Canguu, Uluwatu and Ubud. 

I returned back from holiday and had a few difficult weeks at work, doubting myself- if I could start my dream to set up an online boutique. After various conversations with wonderful friends and family (some of who asked me to bring them back Bali bags!) and resigning from my job at the time it threw me into the deep end and made me determined to begin The Wanderlust Collection. 

I had no income, a few bags from a wonderful supplier in Bali and one very talented creative friend who I paid with the promise of food once I had a new job. My logo was created and so the Wanderlust journey began. 

My vision is to provide customers with affordable touches of luxury. Recommended for those with a strong desire or impulse to wander, travel or explore the world. To the new Wanderlust followers hello and to returning customers, thank you, I couldn't have done this without you all! I am now 12 months in and I can't wait for my collection to continue to grow.
