Why the Redesign?


It’s been 2 years since we launched our Emporium, and we’ve come a long way since our humble beginnings. We started out with virtually no experience in running an online store, and while we've only revamped it once since then, this redesign reflects all we've learned from our research and customer feedback. Our goal was to focus on the collections that matter most to us and you, and to give the store a more polished, modern feel that reflects the heart of who we are here at Closer Lives.


Whether you're a longtime supporter or new to our community, we hope you enjoy the fresh look and feel of our newly designed emporium!


Come explore our new collections and enjoy a seamless shopping experience with us!
