Lush Cosmetics will return to downtown Victoria in June with a larger store and new concept

Share

When one door closes, another one opens.

Lush Cosmetics may have packed up its shop at 1003 Government Street but is getting ready to re-open in June 2017, just a short walking distance away from its original location of ten years.

Now located at 1020 Government Street, Lush Cosmetics tells Victoria Buzz the new concept shop will be bigger and better at 1,300 square feet, more than two times the average Lush store!

“We are very excited about our new large format location in Victoria,” said Elisa Torres, Lush’s Director of Retail. “Bigger shops, thoughtfully designed with the customer experience in mind, provide more space to demonstrate our ethics, playfully interact with our customers, and present our new and ever growing product range.”

Taking inspiration from Lush’s 10,000 square foot store on Oxford Street in London, the retail design gives new meaning to the vintage charm.

The store is filled with one-of-a-kind, salvaged and reclaimed furniture that has been sourced from all over North America. They will be keeping as much of the shops’ historic charm in tact as possible, including the towering archways, hanging pendant lights, and original, open-face, brick walls from when the shop space was a bank in the 1800’s.

This unique design concept of working from reclaimed materials reduces waste, ultimately cutting back on Lush’s environmental footprint, a value important to the brand.

Plus, the neutral tones of the interior contrast perfectly with the rainbow bright colours of Lush’s product range, including its signature bath bombs, a Victorian favourite.
