about shabby couture

“Founded on the petal of a rose with an ode to the past.”

our story

A bespoke collection of shabby couture adornments, manifested through our connection to mother nature, using carefully curated vintage materials that are reawakened with florals, offering timeless whimsy in the form of bespoke jewellery, textiles and magical heirloom treasures for playful wear and magical décor.

Our collections honour the natural world by combining vintage and natural elements such as vintage fabrics, lace, ribbons, velvet flowers, gems, and haberdashery with delicate accents of floral pigments found in abundance at Lola Rose Farm including naturally grown nettles, marigolds and rose petals.

Blessed to grow and create on Wiradjuri Country off the Canola Trail in Temora NSW.

“From vintage & blooms to heirloom.”

There is a special magic to be found here amongst the roses – a shabby couture kind of magic and artistry. Founder of Lola Rose Creations, Alison Swanston, is the vibrant creator of her own whimsical reality with a love for secret gardens, romantic vintage, and all things shabby couture.

A true romantic, Alisons heart is forever growing alongside her Husband Matt and their four beautiful children Nate, Tristian, Hunter, and Oliver, as they nurture their family and flourishing dream at Lola Rose Farm.

Now, Alison is following her vision to create bespoke shabby couture adornments for playful wear and magical décor to be enjoyed by children and adults alike. A natural progression from paddock to bloom and bloom to heirloom using carefully curated and reawakened vintage.

Hello lovely,

Thank you so much for being here and joining me on this beautiful journey. I hope you believe in magic as much as I do.

Love Ali xx

sustainability statement

Forever blooming with sustainability in mind. 

At Lola Rose Creations, we work in harmony with mother nature by reawakening vintage materials and transforming them into shabby couture pieces enhanced with floral pigments and magical heirloom embellishments. 

Our small-batch collections feature bespoke one-off pieces, embracing the beauty and whimsy of vintage to create something new, to be treasured for years to come. 

Our pieces are thoughtfully packaged in cardboard boxes with tissue paper and finished with vintage fabric ribbons and lace.
