Originally created in 2000 by Louise Hopkins in Australia. Louise wanted a bag that was practical and durable that was able to withstand the extreme weather elements worldwide. At that time, there was a lack of affordable high -end luxury bags and a large volume of cheaper inferior quality bags. Louise saw a gap in the market from which her LULU Australia bags were born. Since then, the LULU Australia brand has made waves worldwide with its fun and vibrant handbag designs and accessories and has accomplished a reputation for luxury but affordable quality bags.

Whether you are at the beach, pool or shopping, these somewhat retro  and stylish bags make a vibrant statement as well as being extremely functional. At For Her From You, we have a number of different designs to suit and they make wonderful gifts for women who love to accessorise in style. LULU’s collections of beach bags, tote bags and handbags marry vivid summer colours with a fun and frivolous theme. LULU also has all your little necessities covered and zipped-up in the height of fashion. LULU’s accessories revel in feminine beauty and dazzling designs.

If you’re planning to take the love of your life away for a romantic weekend, then how about adding to the perfect gift for her with a LULU Australia Raya Sun Overnight Bag.  This beautifully made hold-all is perfect to hold all her requirements for an overnight stay or even weekend. Its durable wipe clean laminate makes it perfect to wipe clean and its beautiful print is designed on canvas beneath the high gloss sheen. The pretty aqua trims are in the softest faux leather and are large enough to carry over your shoulder. This practical yet fun bag would also make a superb gym kit or sports bag and an ideal birthday, Christmas or anniversary gift for her. We think it’s a great overhead luggage and flight bag but we’d be happy to use it for our zumba class!

Practical and convenient doesn’t have to mean drab and dull. The LULU Australia Pocketed Bowling Bag makes a wonderful gift for any woman with its chic patent pink and brown paisley design and several pockets and compartments. Indeed, this makes a super bag for a new mum with lots of internal compartments for all those baby essentials as well as the outer pockets. Of course, it’s also perfect for an everyday bag to take to the office or on any shopping expedition. It really is a statement bag and shouts designer, but it won’t cost the earth – both financially and economically since the design is printed onto organic cotton canvas before the signature wipe clean high gloss laminate is applied to protect it.

Accessories always make excellent gifts for women and the bonus is that they can never have too many of them. A lovely handbag is something she will use for years to come and one that is particularly on trend right now is the LULU Australia Roses Typical French Bag.  This tote bag has a 1950’s / 1960’s retro feel with its stunning vintage floral design similar to the ever popular Kath Kidston and popular oil cloth design and fabric. As a shoulder bag, it is superbly practical and comfortable to wear with its canvas handles and can accommodate much shopping . Of course, you could just throw in a towel, some sunscreen, and a book and head for the beach and it will no doubt double up as a comfortable pillow on the shingle as you turn the pages of your book and soak up the rays and rest assured you can simply wipe clean!
