About Us

So glad to see you here! I'm Maria Gal a hobby artist living my best life down here on the Gulf in beautiful Naples, Florida. Originally from Massachusetts, I've been a Floridian for twenty six years.

The Ladylike Shop Naples was inspired by the ladies of my childhood. I was blessed with examples of style and feminine grace in these adored women. From my late mother Ursula's taste in a quality wardrobe and matching accessories to my late Nana Vita Maria's elegance and modest presence. My Aunty Anita's stunning jewelry set my adoration of jewelry in motion. I was taught presenting oneself outside the home should be thoughtful, on trend but most importantly dignified. 

For several I've been designing/redesigning jewelry and handbags as a hobby. I curate vintage pieces from all over the US and international. I break them down and repurpose them to create from scratch or add that perfect touch to my collections. I also have quite a collection of vintage occasion wear and lingerie I'm thrilled to provide to those who adore these treasured garments as much as I do.

This site captures all my loves-cake topper design/redesign, jewelry, handbag restoration and vintage clothing in four different collections. ENJOY!
