The Eva Lucia Story
EvaLucia is an independent fashion boutique situated Perth, Scotland and established in 2009 by fashion lover and mother of two Lori McGaffney as a go to, on trend footwear retailer.
Owner and buyer Lori McGaffney opened the doors to EvaLucia in 2009 on Scott Street Perth the business has evolved and grown before relocating to a larger store on Perth High Street in 2019 providing our customers with an enhanced shopping experience in our custom designed and fitted store layout. Providing the perfect surroundings for a one to one shopping experience or day out with your girlfriends.
The store has evolved over the last eleven years into a carefully curated fashion and Lifestyle boutique with a hand selected brand mix with a point of difference from anything else you shall find on Perth High Street.
Our collections are created with the discerning women in mind-looking for quality and stylish finds that will see them through the current season and for years to come, from timeless pieces to the eclectic.
We put a massive emphasis on providing excellent customer service, making our customers feel welcome and at ease, as well as offering style advice while shopping with the added option of a one to one style consultation.
Lori McGaffney - Business Owner and Stylist
The boss. The gaffer. The woman in charge! Lori started Eva Lucia back in 2009 when she was frustrated by the lack of stylish options for women’s footwear in Perth. Fast forward 12 years and both the shop and Lori have been through multiple evolutions including a complete move of premises, a marriage and a baby brother for our namesake, Eva.
There was little surprise that Lori opened a shop; retail is in the blood. Mum, Lynn, is a fellow Perth Indie and one of the partners in Lorna Davies Florists, and Lori’s great gran ran Tylers, the go-to shoe shop long before Lori was born.
Day to day Lori oversees the entire operation but with Sonia now helping, she can focus on buying, merchandising, financials, strategy, ethos and ensuring the all-important team is happy and looked after.
More recently, Lori has taken up the mantle of Perthshire Chamber of Commerce President, the first time in the organisations 150 year history that a woman has held this office. And what a woman to lead the way!
