We strive to make a positive impact by being of service, spreading kindness, and offering quality products that uplift and enlighten your everyday experience.
At Fleur De Lys we believe...
~Shopping should be an experience.
~Gifts should come from the heart.
~Design should follow whim, not rules.
~Customers should be treated like family.
~Dogs should never wait in the car.
~It's not just the thought that counts, there should be gifts too.
~Sharing dessert is over rated.
~Life is a special occasion, always use the good stuff.
Two friends who just wanted a happy place to work where they could bring their dogs. In 2004 they left their corporate jobs at Saks Fifth Avenue and created Fleur De Lys. It’s been a magical journey ever since.
Shannon & Josephine are still very much involved in every aspect of the business and are both on site frequently. They are committed to providing an uplifting environment and an exceptional shopping experience, offering a personally curated assortment of the highest quality and integrity.
Mo started at Fleur De Lys in 2012 and since then has done just about everything. As Creative Director, Mo is continually working with Shannon & Josephine to source new products and curate a one of a kind assortment.
His creative talents are limitless and and his continued dedication to growing the brand is truly extraordinary.
Mo loves to travel and explore the globe. He approaches every day like he's on vacation and finds inspiration everywhere he looks.

Meet Charlene, a native of Upstate New York who has lived in Long Beach for the past 36 years. She has an extensive background in retail sales, hospitality, and the travel industry.
She loves meeting new people and that shows in her outgoing and welcoming personality and great smile. Charlene's hobbies are:
• crafting
• designing jewelry

She has two grown children, Garrett and Lauren, two granddogs, and the family dog Molly.
Willie, short for Wilhelmina, has been delighting customers and "guests" for over 45 years, including 17 years at Disneyland, spending part of her career as a Disney Ambassador. It's no surprise that she loves to meet people and offers exceptional care to everyone.
But what may be surprising is that she speaks three languages (English, Dutch, and Frisian). Willie's parents are from Friesland, a province in the Netherlands, and she has many great stories of her heritage. Willie loves to knit, travel, and read. Her favorite book is "Rebecca" by Daphne du Maurier.
Willie has two grown sons, Alex & Christopher, the best daughter-in-law Bette, and her sweet kitty Nala.
NOT PRESENT ON PHOTO DAY. Jamie has been a style influencer for decades! Her and her husband owned and operated their own hair salon and boutique for more years then they look old enough to have been alive! Jamie is always ready to help you put a new look together. Whether you're adorning your home or yourself, or shopping for a gift, Jamie will make sure you look your best. Jamie has one daughter and a grandson who are her pride and joy. Any chance they get, she & her husband are heading out of town for some real life face time with their precious boy.
NOT PRESENT ON PHOTO DAY. Jeff is more comfortable behind the camera than in front of it. He has an artistic eye and a talent for capturing a unique perspective. He's also great behind the scenes! Jeff is responsible for keeping things running smoothly at Fleur De Lys. He oversees all aspects of the receving side of the operation as well as maintaining inventory data, administrative details, and pretty much anything else to keep us in order. But don't be fooled, he has been known to make regular appearances on the sales floor and is quick to help in any way he can.
Some of you may have seen this guy around the store, that is when he slows down long enough to get a look. This is Shannon’s dad. He retired in 2010 and soon realized he wasn’t cut out for a retiring lifestyle. He’s been coming here ever since to help out.
He unpacks and tickets our shipments, cleans up after us and keeps us all in line. He entertains us daily with his “Tex-isms” and keeps us grounded with his philosophical reminders like, “sometimes you’re the windshield, sometimes you’re the bug.”
