Yaya + Lou- Chelsea Santos

I got to speak with Chelsea Santos, the owner of Yaya + Lou, a curated children's store in College Park, FL, that promotes ownership of fewer, better things. Offering baby and children's clothing and accessories, Yaya + Lou is a retail space made up of new and gently used luxury merchandise.

I spoke to Chelsea about her time living in NY and the birth of her 1st daughter ignited her passion for kids’ fashion and the desire to open a children’s clothing store- Yaya + Lou

We discussed how she has evolved her store to include Encorner and weekly book readings and provides a free play area (Lil Locals Play Town) to encourage community-building.  As well as, opening a 2nd location in Tampa and dealing with some unexpected circumstances - all while being a mom, working a full-time job, and running a store in College Park.
