Moments from an intimate lunch in the Hawkes Bay celebrating the first chapter of Loulou; A Place to Grow.

Sitting amongst my friends, and inspiring business women who have been my sounding boards and cheerleaders throughout this transition was a special moment for me. Evolving gently into Loulou and being brave enough to reimagine this brand has been in part because of these women's ongoing support.

We enjoyed fresh salmon and cream cheese bagels and our coffee's while they were still hot at Kindred Road in Hastings, surrounded by caramel marbled tables, a selection of beautiful homewares and plush velvet seating in a deep toffee brown. We took the opportunity to reflect on the year that's been and what's to come in this new season for Loulou and us all.
