About Us

Alora (אֱלִיאוֹרָה) - rooted in Hebrew, meaning “God is my light.”

​

It’s more than just a name, it's the passion behind everything we do. A daily reminder of Who we create for and why.

Our story began in the most unexpected place: a tiny kitchen during the dreaded stillness of lockdown.

What began as simply as a creative outlet at the time turned into something deeper… something joyous.

 

Because a gift is more than just a “thing”—

It’s a message.

A moment.

A little spark of joy that says:

“You matter. You are special. You are appreciated.”

​

To every person who has supported us along the way, whether you’ve shopped with us, shared a post, told a friend, or just believed in what we’re doing - thank you from the bottom of my heart. You’ve been part of this journey, and we’re so grateful for the light you’ve brought to Alora.

​

Whether you’re gifting a friend, encouraging a loved one, or creating something meaningful for your team—we’re here to help you gift beautifully, intentionally, and joyfully.

 

With love and a grateful heart,

Melissa van Rensburg
