The latest addition to Round Top’s newest shopping destination is a killer combination of fashion, jewelry, and home goods curated by Tutu & Lilli’s Melissa Ellis. The newly expanded space dubbed The Store, is expected to welcome a flock of new fans at the rapidly approaching fall antiques show (October 14 to 31) along with fellow Round Top Village artisans, making the charming, casita style shopping venue a true creative hub with distinctive items to buy.

Here are the vendors, designers and makers you’ll find at Round Top Village:

The Store is laid out in sections featuring an array of new and beloved brands.

The Store

Melissa Ellis has moved from her original location in Rolland Square (formerly Rummel Square), holding the grand opening a couple of weeks ago, of her newest Tutu & Lilli location in Round Top Village, called The Store. She installed her other Tutu & Lilli and MUSE Collective jewelry showroom inside Melissa Ellis Fine Arts Gallery in Henkel Square last year, along with original art, you can find her line of flowy and feminine tops which come in a kaleidoscope of colors, there as well. These tops are even washable and drip dry for the ultimate ease. Plus, they’re easily packable and ready for fall and winter layering.

Ellis’ MUSE Collective jewelry line, which is designed with her co-owner and sister, Shelley Ulm, will also be on display at The Store. But, that’s not all. Not by a long shot.

“The Store is about four times bigger than our previous location, and we’re so happy to be a part of Round Top Village,” Melissa Ellis tells RoundTop.com.

The Store is filled with unexpected finds as well. The spa section has slippers, soaps, and P. J. Harlow pajamas. The pet section has a selection of bowls and treats, and beaded collars. While the baby area has precious baby gowns by Ellis’ Cloud-Mine collection, Angel Dear swaddles, and snuggly Bla Bla hand-knitted Peruvian dolls. You’ll find glassware, bitters and Ellis Motel cocktail mixes in the bar section of The Store. And, don’t forget the home décor and gourmet items like TRUFF truffle oil products and cheese boards.

  • The bar section filled with recipes and cocktail mixes from the Ellis Motel.
  • There’s a lot in store at The Store, from MUSE Collective jewelry to home goods.
