Near Toulouse: a decoration shop with a “bohemian chic” spirit in Auzeville-Tolosane

It all started with photographs published on social networks and a “pure chance” recalls Melody Taillan, resident of Drémil-Lafage (and from Pompertuzat) passionate about “bohemian chic” decoration. “I take pictures and I created an Instagram account. Craftsmen contacted me, thinking that I had a decoration shop. It made the idea germinate, ”she recalls. Thus was born Rock on the moon, an online decoration and lifestyle store, in December 2020.
At the end of June 2021, the entrepreneur took her concept to a new level by opening a physical store (or “a showroom”, in the language of Shakespeare) in Auzeville-Tolosane, in the old town grocery store. “I renovated my grandfather’s old room! It came naturally because I had a lot of requests from customers, especially people from Toulouse, who avoid shipping costs. So I thought of this abandoned room, ”says the 25-year-old entrepreneur.
Decoration and spirituality
Hand-woven baskets, baskets, small furniture, all with a boho chic spirit… Rock on the moon offers products from Moroccan and Balinese crafts.
Mélody Taillan has expanded the range of items in the boutique with dried flowers, jewelry and a section dedicated to esotericism with incense, lithotherapy (stone jewelry, Editor’s note) and also advice on feng shui. A spiritual aspect which “is part of the identity of Rock on the moon”, she explains.
A concept in development
If the manager is satisfied with the start of Rock on the moon with regard to the mailings or the reception on social networks, she does not hide that the beginnings at Auzeville-Tolosane are more difficult :
“It’s more complicated given the narrow passage in front of the store, but it’s very young and it’s under development.”
Mélody Taillan would see herself riding a shop in a more busy street, but it won’t be for now.
Without appointment on Friday
In the meantime, it is possible to go to 1, chemin des Coteaux in Auzeville-Tolosane from Monday to Saturday by appointment for free collection of packages, advice session or private shopping. The boutique is open without an appointment every Friday from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
