Lisa’s Classic Rose Delivers Versatility & Style While Also Giving Back to the Community

Lisa’s Classic Rose has provided its stylish, comfortable fashion to downtown Venice since 2005. Founded by former airline professional Lisa Vander Wall, the boutique caters to both locals and visitors, including vacationers and destination wedding shoppers.

The boutique emphasizes practical, yet chic pieces tailored to the Florida lifestyle, with easy-care, sun-protective fabrics, such as the Miami-based LuluB. Beloved for its UPF 50, wrinkle-resistant fabrics, LuluB perfectly suits the intrepid Venice woman’s lifestyle. “Our customers look for clothes that look great, feel comfortable, and stand the test of time,” Vander Wall shared. Designed for mix-and-match versatility, LuluB’s prints evolve with each season yet maintain compatibility, allowing customers to build on their wardrobes effortlessly year after year.Another featured line, Jams World, offers vibrant, artistic prints on breathable fabrics. Simply Southern, also stocked, supports environmental causes, with this year’s tees benefiting turtle and elephant conservation.

Vander Wall and her team provide a highly personalized shopping experience, often acting as personal stylists for regulars. “We get to know our regulars—their favorite colors and best fits,” she said. They even ship items to seasonal customers up north.

Lisa’s Classic Rose is committed to the community, participating in seasonal fashion shows that support local charities. “We like to give back, especially when it benefits our customers’ communities,” Vander Wall added.

Welcoming customers from across Venice and beyond, Lisa’s Classic Rose combines style, quality, and affordability. “We’re known for our colorful, comfy clothing and fair pricing,” Vander Wall said. The boutique remains true to Vander Wall’s vision of accessible fashion and personalized service, offering the latest styles each season.
