Victor Olivier (VO) is a unique emporium located in Prospect, St. James. It is owned and operated by Barbadian, Tara Thompson-Meniaud. Naturally creative in her pursuits, Tara has grown what began as a hair salon (Victor Olivier Stylists Inc.) into a carefully curated “one-stop shop” as she calls it, which now also retails a wide selection of unique, high-quality foodie goods and lifestyle accoutrements from around the world.
VO places quality and sustainability at the forefront of everything it undertakes.
“We work with other small businesses, locally and globally, who are aligned with our beliefs to ensure that we remain transparent in our business practices as being: organic, sustainable, eco-friendly and artisanal,”
– Tara Thompson-Meniaud
Visiting VO is truly delightful. “It is all about discovery and experience!” says Tara. Every sense in your body is awakened from the moment you enter. From the driveway which transcends to a tropical outdoor oasis, equipped with comfortable seating areas to sit and relax, enjoy a refreshing beverage or have a bite to eat…All while listening to the soothing eclectic sounds from across the globe playing gently in the background.
Inside the emporium you are able to see, taste, touch and feel all that VO represents. From the beautiful fashion pieces that have been carefully curated by Tara herself, organic handwoven cotton from Mexico, handmade accessories by the Wayúu Tribe of the La Guajira peninsula in Colombia, to an amazing selection of fine foods including Manūka honey from New Zealand, olives from Greece, and pasta from Italy.
