Lisa Swords

BLISS CLOTHING + HOME

It’s no secret that Lisa Swords is the ultimate stylist. Her talents, honed over 30 years in the retail business, extend to both fashion and interior design. When you walk into her store, perfectly named Bliss, it’s hard not to feel inspired. In 2016, Lisa opened Bliss Clothing on Hwy. 22 in Mandeville. Her second location of Bliss just opened in the heart of downtown Covington near Coffee Rani on Boston Street. Both locations of Bliss Clothing are sleek and smart, filled with natural light and are extremely fun to shop. Luckily for her customers, the Mandeville and Covington shops carry different assortments of clothes, which ultimately gives customers a wide variety of styles to choose from and good reasons to visit both locations. Lisa stays busy keeping up with the latest fashion trends. Whether you’re stopping by for a new outfit and accessories, or looking to get some stylish jewelry for an event, Bliss makes it easy. Lisa always manages to make her customers feel elegant and beautiful, adding, “I enjoy helping customers and building relationships with my clients.”

When Lisa first started out, clothing and accessories were her main business. In fact, you may remember her from The Strawberry Patch, a northshore staple for many years. However, friends kept encouraging her to share her special hobby of decorating with customers at her store. That’s how Bliss Clothing + Home happened. The Mandeville shop on Hwy. 22 features fashion, jewelry and accessories on one side with furniture, accent pieces and home design right next door. Lisa has enjoyed pouring her creative energy into Bliss Home. She helps clients choose furniture, custom drapes, wallpaper, local artwork, lighting, and more. Lisa listens to her clients’ needs, and then uses their ideas to transform their homes, while keeping up with the latest trends in design. The end result is warm and inviting.

When clients need advice on redecorating their living space, Lisa offers personal in-home assistance. Whether you are redecorating just one room, or building from the ground up, Lisa is happy to help you take on the project. As she creates new looks for homes, she always makes sure to listen to what her clients want. Some people like keeping precious antiques, while others prefer to go for a more modern vibe. Regardless of which style you choose, Lisa will make it all come together seamlessly.

Lisa finds satisfaction in completing projects. She is passionate about interior design and fashion, which must be why it seems to shine through everything she touches. “I have loved working with new clients and making friends with so many people I have met in the retail industry,” says Lisa. “It doesn’t just end with design, though. Helping women find the perfect outfit for an event is just as satisfying.”

In her free time, Lisa enjoys spending time with her husband and two grown sons, especially when it involves taking trips to the beach to recharge her batteries!
