Sophia Lustig

A Bit of History: In 1936, Ms. Sophia Lustig opened her namesake shop in downtown Toledo. In those days, private appointments, models, and dedicated personal stylists were the expectation, not the exception. The shop was exquisite, filled with gorgeous hand picked clothing and accessories from all of the top designers of the day. Women scheduled appointments for every season change and special event, spending the day at the shop sipping champagne and selecting extraordinary pieces for every occasion. When Ms. Lustig passed away, the shop continued to thrive through the dedication of her longtime associate Grace Sullivan Brandhuber and in 1981, Paula Fall. During her 31 years as proprietor, Paula cultivated an unrivaled reputation for her impeccable style and keen eye. While maintaining the highest possible standards established in the 30s by Sophia Lustig, she also had the vision to engage a younger, more contemporary client. Therefore, in 2003, Paula launched a new branch of the shop called Sophie’s Sister. Meredith Moore, Paula’s protégé, purchased Sophia Lustig in 2012 and owns it today. Meredith’s commitment to strong personal relationships, fashion of the highest-quality and meticulous attention to detail carries on Sophia Lustig’s legacy. From private appointments, dedicated stylists, curated wardrobes, and expert alterations, shopping at Sophia Lustig transports you back in time to build a wardrobe for your modern life. Whether you’re running out the door, walking into a meeting, jumping on a Zoom call, strolling the streets, or simply enjoying life on the go, Sophia Lustig will always be there for you. In June of 2021, Sophia Lustig will move to Perrysburg, OH at 126 Louisiana Ave, and join other vibrant retail, restaurants and small businesses.
