first diary entry,
Saying Goodbye to the Storefront
After a good year in the heart of our community, we've made the bittersweet decision to close our beloved retail vintage boutique, Donna Forbes. It's been a place of joy, discovery, and countless connections. From the first-time shoppers discovering the magic of vintage to our loyal customers who have become friends, we are deeply grateful for the support and love we've received.
​
The Journey So Far
Our journey began with a passion for unique, timeless pieces that tell a story. Each item in our boutique was hand-picked by me, carrying a piece of history and a sense of style that transcends trends. We've styled countless outfits and curated collections that celebrate the charm and elegance of vintage fashion.
Embracing Change: The Move to Online
​
Broader Reach: Going online allows us to share our curated collections with a global audience. No longer confined by geographic limitations, we can connect vintage enthusiasts from all corners of the world.
Personalized Experience: Our appointment-only model ensures that every customer receives personalized attention. Whether you're searching for a specific item or need styling advice, our one-on-one consultations will provide a bespoke shopping experience tailored to your needs.
Convenience: Shopping online offers the flexibility to browse and purchase at your own pace from the comfort of your home. We're making it easier for you to find that perfect vintage piece without the constraints of store hours or travel.
What to Expect
As we transition to our online platform, we are committed to maintaining the same level of quality and service you've come to expect. Our website will feature detailed descriptions, high-quality images, and the stories behind each item. We'll also continue to offer styling tips, lookbooks, and fun inspiration fashion tips.
The Future is Bright
