We're still collecting donations
On the 27th May 2022 we'd raised £43 with 5 supporters in 69 days. But as every pound matters, we're continuing to collect donations from supporters.
We hope to expand our customer base by creating a web page and eventually opening new stores both nationally and overseas

On the 27th May 2022 we'd raised £43 with 5 supporters in 69 days. But as every pound matters, we're continuing to collect donations from supporters.
We are a team of 4 ladies that work tirelessly to make our gorgeous little the shop the very best it can be in the small market town of Ledbury in Herefordshire.
We opened after the lockdown allowed us to and although we are very happy with what we have done so far, we know that there is so much more we could be doing.
We have a good customer base but we know that if we had the chance to get our name and brand out there then we could do so well.
Our first idea is to get a website up and running that would open us up nationally, we have a local lady ready and raring to go already. We already have followers on Facebook and Instagram that are all over the country but they can't order online at present and we feel like we are missing out on a lot of business because of this. If this went well then it means we would be able to employ more people into the business.
We would be able to keep it updated with new stock as it came in and we would get local people to model the items for the site so that our customers could see real people in the clothing. All pictured in our beautiful town.
We are currently without a stock room and because of this we are unable to get the quantities of stock that we ideally need. We have a good sized cellar available to us but it would need to be completely done out to damp proof it and have rails and shelving put up. We plan on finding a local trader to do the work for us so that it would also help out another independent business.
The more up to date we can have the stock in the shop then the more likely the people of Ledbury will shop locally rather than having to go off to the bigger towns and cities.
Any other funding that we managed to get would be used to create our own clothing label. It would be amazing to have our own labelling in all of the stock that we sell which is something we can't afford to do at the moment.
Eventually we think that we could open up another shop(s), preferably in a city or at least a bigger town than Ledbury that will have the same items available as we would here plus hopefully more, dependant on size.
