Mariposa opened its doors in 2011 at the top of O`Rahilly Street in the heart of Ballina town. Stocked to the brim with a beautiful eclectic mix of country and vintage inspired home-wares, Mariposa has achieved an enviable ambiance throughout the shop. The careful sourcing and bringing together of vintage French Country, Gustavian, New England, Art Deco and English Country styles has created an
air of enchanting nostalgia, making a visit to the shop a feast for the senses. The shop stocks an impressive range of furniture, giftware, accessories, lamps, soft furnishings, candles and a whole host of quirky vintage style treasures, many with definite artisanal quality. The emphasis is on relaxed appeal with beautiful furnishings which are timeless and work well together to create effortless, eclectic and stylish interiors. Everything is carefully sourced and brought together to create a fresh but relaxed ambiance.
