New Boutique opening in Rickmansworth...

Revel in the Experience at Love to Boutique
Love to Boutique is a brand new ladies clothing and accessories boutique opening in Rickmansworth this month with a unique shopping ethos. Abbey Booth owner of the new store explains, ‘I wanted to create a warm, friendly environment where women felt very welcome and comfortable to browse and choose beautiful, affordable clothes, accessories and shoes.’
Love To Boutique began as a home shopping experience, brought to life in people’s homes, events and markets. With a new website on the way offering a click and collect service, Abbey wants to maintain the friendly service at the bricks and mortar shop in Station Road. ‘What I love is getting to know my customers and ultimately seeing them looking beautiful in one of the tops, dresses or jewellery items which I stock – that smile you get when a woman is feeling fabulous is what drives me.
‘I would also like men to feel comfortable enough to pop in and look for gifts for their loved ones, not just for Christmas but for any time of the year. We can assist them to find something gorgeous and gift wrap the item as well.’
With brands including Numph from Denmark to Sugarhill Boutique, Ravel, White Leaf, Belle & Flo and Naomi Tskushima there is a range of unique pieces for every age range and budget. With a gift wrapping service available for Christmas, late evening opening every Thursday until 8pm and a surprise gift for every twenty fifth shopper throughout the first month of opening, there is plenty of opportunity to visit the new boutique and find that unique and affordable outfit.
