About Us
ABOUT TA LOULOU
Ta LouLou (“Your LouLou”) was created by Carmencita ‘Cit’ Sioson and Denise ‘Den’ Juan who both share the same passion for fashion. With their friendship spanning over two decades, their story is one that includes many fond memories—from overcoming growing pains together and obsessing over their love for ballet to pursuing their respective careers yet still remaining the best of friends.
Using Cit’s experience as a former editor and fashion stylist and Den’s background in sales, as well as their marketing degree, they decided to create Ta LouLou in 2018 to inspire little girls not only to stay true to themselves, but also to stand by each other in the pursuit of their dreams—all while dressed in their “Sunday best.”
As they continue to build their lifestyle brand, which now includes womenswear, formalwear, and accessories collections that are made from excess materials to avoid wastage, and a customization service, they aspire to include a wider range of offerings that speak of the Ta LouLou lifestyle: one that encourages creativity, advocates a life of purpose, and celebrates even the simplest moments.
In line with this growth is building a community that not only advocates slow fashion through thoughtfully-made pieces, but also values the importance of uplifting each other and finding inspiration through creativity.
Ta LouLou was created with the mission to keep customers at their best by surrounding themselves with the things they love and things that inspire them.
OUR AESTHETIC
Our design aesthetic remains quite dainty and feminine which probably stems from our love of ballet as we both grew up taking classes together. Though our pieces usually include ruffles and bows, we also appreciate a more minimalist aesthetic which is evident in some of our designs. We make it a point to include interesting details that would allow our customers to still make each piece their own. This design principle applies to all our products.
Every collection, which we like to call “volume” (as if it were part of a series of books that enables us to share our story through each piece we create), features our signature details—from soft ruffles and delicate flower cutouts to elegant scallop edges and oversized bows.
As we continue to advocate slow fashion through thoughtfully-made pieces that our customers would love to wear over and over again and even pass on to the next generation, we take pride in our highly personalized customization service that enables our customers to get the most out of each Ta LouLou piece even as their personal style changes and evolves.
All our products are available for customization: color, fit, fabric, print, and our other signature details such as flower cutouts, interchangeable and multiway straps, scallop trim, and hand embroidery, among others
