Need some ‘me time’? This lovely lifestyle store in the New Forest town of Fordingbridge could just be the Luxury Bubble you’re after. Inspired by well-earned breaks from busy family life, owner Sian Curry decided to create a place for like-minded ladies to find sanctuary.

A teeny weeny department store inside a two storey Georgian building on Fordingbridge High Street, Luxury Bubble has ladies fashion, accessories, jewellery and shoes on the ground floor while upstairs, there are luxe homewares, makeup beauty products, a small café and even a treatment room.

Fashion

Clothing brands in the store are specially chosen for the local market, whether country sophisticate, country dog walker – or a mix of both. Casuals from Esprit and local designer Brakeburn sit alongside more smart and smart-casual attire from British, Dutch, Spanish and Australian manufacturers such as Numph, Selected Femme, YAS, Fabienne Chapot, Jaase and Nooki. Jewellery, footwear and other leather accessories complement the key brands across the floor. Basically, from head to toe, Luxury Bubble has got you covered.

Beauty

The beauty area of the store has products for sale and a beauty room for private treatments. Managed by a full time Beauty Co-ordinator, Luxury Bubble offers a range of facial and body treatments administered by a team of full and part time beauty therapists. Find Guinot anti-aging facial treatments using the French brand’s cellular energy technology. And there’s aesthetic treatments, eBO Beauty body and facial treatments from Kirstie Garrett and a range of traditional massage techniques such as hot stone and Swedish.

Cafe

Open for breakfast and lunch, the coffee lounge café combines sweet treats with hot and cold drinks (soft and alcohol), perfect for a quick catchup with a friend or some solitary quiet time.

Luxury Bubble also holds regular workshop events in the café, from Dressing Your Home and Table for Christmas, to a Bespoke Fragrance and Candle Making Atelier, a Gut Wellness Clinic with Introduction to Fermented Foods and a Smoky Eyes and Christmas Make-up session.
