Help Lolita Collective Find a New Home!
After over a year of serving as a hub for the J-Fashion community in the Midwest, our retail store is facing an unexpected challenge. Our landlord has informed us on very short notice that they will not be renewing our lease, despite no delinquency on our end as renters. This means we must vacate our beloved space before the end of February.
While this news comes as a shock, we’re grateful that the landlord has offered us another equivalent space just a short walk away. The new space is a promising opportunity, but the move itself is a significant financial and logistical hurdle. Lolita Collective and the J-Fashion community at large have given a lot of love, care, and hard work to transform our current space, and the idea of starting over is daunting and disheartening. It means repainting, reinstalling, and re-imagining a new home for Lolita Collective—and that’s where we need your help.
We’re launching this GoFundMe campaign with a goal of $5,000 to help cover the unexpected expenses of this sudden move.
Your contributions will go directly towards:
- Painting and decorating the new space to recapture the charm of our original store.
- Re-installation of custom signage and fixtures, ensuring that our new space still feels like "home."
- Upgrading the space to suit our needs, from furniture to essential installations, creating a welcoming and functional environment.
Much of what we’ve built—our custom decor, unique displays, and furniture—will come with us, but this move will still come at a great cost to our small team. Despite this setback, we’re committed to maintaining a space where J-Fashion designers, enthusiasts, and community members can gather and express themselves.
How You Can Help:
Every donation, no matter the size, is a helping hand in our big move to this new space. If you can’t donate, sharing our campaign with your friends, family, and community would still mean a lot to us. Together, we can ensure that Lolita Collective continues to thrive as a beacon for J-Fashion in the Midwest!
What’s Next for LC?
We’re are determined to make our new location just as magical as before. With your support, we can turn this challenge into an opportunity to grow and create an even better experience for our customers and community.
Thank you for standing by us during this unexpected hurdle. Your support means the world to us and to the designers and creators who make Lolita Collective so special.
With love and gratitude,
