Luna by Brio
Luna by Brio is a jewelry and fashion boutique founded in 2017 by Victoria and Mitch Lester with her oldest daughter, Melissa.
Victoria had operated a market stall in her home city of Medellín, Columbia before moving to Birmingham. While Melissa was attending business school at UAB, the Lesters began selling handmade jewelry and leathercrafts under the "Brio Bolso" name at art shows around Birmingham and other southern cities. They expanded with consignment sales at other boutiques and opened their own 700 square-foot store at the Riverchase Galleria in April 2017. The store was named for Lester's youngest daughter, Luna.
Soon the boutique expanded with Bohemian-style clothing and moved to a larger space facing the food court in April 2019. A second location opened at The Summit in 2020.
