Love Always Collective – Ferntree Gully
In a fast-paced hectic world, Love Always Collective offers a gentler, more meaningful way to shop, one rooted in connection, creativity, and community. Founded by the passionate duo Elle and Luke, this family-run business has quickly become a vibrant hub where customers feel instantly at home.
A dream rooted in passion and purpose
Elle and Luke’s journey into business began with a shared vision of providing a space where creativity flourishes and people feel connected, to themselves, each other, and their community. With backgrounds as diverse as mechanics, creative arts, coaching, and even postpartum support, the pair bring a rich tapestry of experiences to their venture. “We wanted to show our kids that it's possible to chase your dreams,” Elle shares. “That’s what drives us every day.” Starting their journey in June 2024, they’ve built a haven that is inspiring and inclusive, a true reflection of their values.
A curated collective
What makes Love Always Collective special is the intention behind every product. With a carefully curated selection of gifts, each item tells a story and celebrates the work of local artisans and small businesses. Whether you're shopping for a unique birthday present, a little something for yourself, or just browsing for inspiration, the shop invites you to slow down and explore.
At its core, the business is built on three key values: Connection, Creativity, and Community. These values aren’t just words, they are felt in every conversation, every display, and every thoughtful detail in the store.
A warm welcome, every time
Step through the doors of Love Always Collective and you’ll find more than shelves lined with beautiful handmade items. You’ll find Elle and Luke, ready for a chat, eager to share the stories behind their makers, and happy to help you find the perfect piece. Customers often comment on the store’s warmth, peaceful energy, and “good vibes”, a sentiment the owners take great pride in.
“We want every visit to feel like catching up with old friends while discovering something new and special,” says Elle.
A deep love for Ferntree Gully
Having grown up in Ferntree Gully, Elle and Luke are deeply connected to the area and its people. They speak fondly of the community’s supportive spirit and genuine appreciation for creativity and local business. “We feel incredibly lucky to live and work in a suburb that truly values connection,” they say. “Every kind word, purchase, and friendly face reminds us why we do what we do.”
Looking ahead with heart
While still in their first year of business, Elle and Luke have big dreams. They plan to grow their collective, offer more creative workshops, and host events that bring their community even closer together. At every step, their goal remains constant. They strive to support local makers, nurture creativity, and provide a meaningful experience for every visitor.
“Every item on our shelves is handpicked with love, every maker is someone we believe in, and every part of the store is designed with purpose,” Elle explains. “We’re not just a baby store, we’re a creative hub, a family business, and a little sanctuary of joy and connection.”
