About Us

Our Story: A Taste of Home and Happiness

The roots of The Lulo Project (TLP) can be traced back to my origins, inspired by the Lulo fruit—a citrus delight that holds precious memories of family, my hometown, and the smiles of my people in Colombia. While living in Italy, I discovered this fruit at a street market, and its refreshing and colorful nature sparked a smile on my face. From that moment, I knew I wanted to bring the same feeling of "home" and "vacation" to others in urban centers, where personal connections can be scarce.

The Lulo Project was born with a mission: to offer garments and objects that are not only fashionable but also refreshing, bold, and exotic. We want to be the source of that smile on your face, no matter where you go. Our brand redefines "comfortable" as a fashionable alternative, effortlessly chic and suitable for any occasion.
