From Musician to Boutique Owner
Jane’s journey into fashion wasn’t a traditional one. A former musician and teacher, she began selling clothes during lockdown — initially as a creative outlet and a way to share her love for unique, beautiful pieces. What started as a small online venture quickly flourished, growing into a thriving business with a passionate community of women who adored her eclectic style.
“It just snowballed,” Jane says with a smile. “People were craving something different — clothes that made them feel joyful and confident again. Like many people, I started an online business during lockdown — doing something that I love, fashion. For things to grow and to have my own gorgeous boutique is a dream and I’ve build a great community of women and regular customers here.”

Globetrotting for Style
Jane’s passion for sourcing truly unique fashion often takes her far beyond Merseyside. She’s known for hopping on a flight to Morocco or Spain, scouring local markets and artisan workshops for standout designs — sometimes returning home with her finds just 24 hours later.
“I love the adventure of it,” she says. “There’s nothing better than finding that one beautiful piece that I know my customers will absolutely adore. I have some wonderful suppliers who I’ve built a great relationship with over the past few years but I’m always keeping my eyes open for new opportunities whilst on my travels.”

A Life in Colour and Compassion
What makes Jane’s story even more inspiring is her heart for giving back. Alongside running her boutique, she regularly organises large charity events and fashion shows at Prescot Parish Church, raising tens of thousands of pounds for women’s charities. Her fashion shows and fundraising nights have become beloved fixtures in the local community calendar.
