Michiko Seto, Owner

Michiko Seto, (Micha) a Jersey Shore native, founded Blooming Boutique. She spent many summers working in various types of small businesses and dreaming about owning a business of her own one day. Graduating from the University of Delaware with a Bachelor's Degree in Fashion Merchandising, Michiko Seto, obtained valuable experience working in management positions in retail, banking and direct sales. From summer jobs to post-graduation experiences, the dream unfolded.

While on vacation in 2004, Micha happened upon some unique handbags and beach bags that were as pricey as they were beautiful. Being inspired, Michiko Seto designed beautiful, unique but affordable bags for her friends and family. Creatively, the bags progressed from silk flowers to adding various trim of beads, fringes, seashells, and even changeable trims. The public began taking notice of the Blooming Bags. Seeing the opportunity for a business, Michiko Seto began looking for a place to sell her bags.

A Growing Business

Michiko Seto's first Blooming Boutique location opened in August of 2006, in a small, 375 square foot space located at 107 W. Market Street in downtown Lewes, Delaware. It began with all different Blooming Bags and a few handbag accessories.

Blooming Boutique was an immediate success and has now grown into 9 stores. Blooming Boutique has 3 locations in Southern Delaware including Long Neck and two locations in Lewes. Other stores include: 

Lewes Gifts & Bayside Gifts in Long Neck - Gifts, Cards, and Home Accessories. 

Treasures in Lewes and Long Neck – Jewelry (and Home Décor in Lewes only)

Over the years Blooming Boutique has moved into larger locations which has allowed Blooming Boutique to expand the product lines carried.  Blooming Boutique now offers resort wear fashion in a range of sizes all year long in the stores and online.  Clothing brands include Lulu B, Beachtime by Lulu B, Tango Mango, Oh My Gauze, Escape by Habitat, Judy Blue Jeans and more.  Many lines offer products suitable for regular, petite-height (women under 5’4”), and tall, with sizes ranging from x-small to 3X.  Shoe brands include, Ilse Jacobsen, Fit Flops, OkaBs,and Tidewater flip-flops with sizes ranging from 5 to 11. A gorgeous selection of handbags can be found in-store and online, including Vendula of London, Joy Susan, Jen and Co, and Beaded Club Bags.

1. What is the difference between Lulu B and Beachtime by Lulu B? 

Beachtime is a division of Lulu B.  Beachtime uses an SPF+50 rated fabric just like Lulu B, however the fabric content is slightly different:

Lulu B: 92% Nylon, 8% Spandex (feels like a bathing suit)

Beachtime by Lulu B:  94% Nylon, 6% Spandex (slightly thinner, very high end, textured feel)

The Beachtime brand has different prints than Lulu B, but many of the same clothing style options as "traditional Lulu B".  Beachtime is NOT a knock-off Lulu B.  

2. Are there any custom Lulu B or Beachtime clothing items at Blooming Boutique?

Yes!  We love working with Lulu B / Beachtime by Lulu B to make custom prints or cuts.  Currently, the only place you can get these items is at Blooming Boutique: 

Beachtime by Lulu B asymmetrical tops (Beachtime fabric)

Beachtime by Lulu B Cha Cha tops (Beachtime fabric)

Lulu B print V-neck Tanks

Lulu B print Scoop Neck Tanks 

If you ever have an idea of something you'd like to see in the Lulu B or Beachtime lines, let us know (302-296-6360) and we would be happy to try to make it happen! 

3. Do you re-stock sold out items?

Yes! We re-stock items as they sell daily!  We re-order from Lulu B and Beachtime weekly, and we re-stock other product lines from our physical stores daily. 

4. Can I place an order over the phone? 

Yes! If you would feel more comfortable placing an order over the phone, we would love to help!  Give us a call at 302-296-6360.

5. Can you give me more advice on what sizes to order?

Yes! We love helping customers find perfectly sized products for their body shape.  We help women every single day in-store find outfits that flatter their body style and boost their confidence.  We would love to help you in-store or talk you through your decisions over the phone (302-296-6360).  Also, watching the weekday morning show on Facebook is a great way to learn more about many of the products we carry at Blooming Boutique. 

6. Can I talk to a real human if I have an issue with my order? 

Yes! No robots here, a real-live human will answer your phone call during the hours of 9am - 5pm on Monday through Friday.  However, we are a small team, so sometimes we are helping other customers or scurrying around our warehouse to fill your order and we might miss a call.  Please leave a message and we will call you back as soon as possible!
