ABOUT US
I had the worse year of my life in 2018, I had been a stay at home mother for the last 7 years and then I found myself facing divorce after 11 years of marriage. During the time of my divorce my father suddenly passed away and then shortly after I lost my grandmother. That is when I decided life is too short, and Penn Claire Boutique was brought to life. The company is named after my father and grandmother as they are two of the most influential people in my life. I incorporated the many years of hopes and dreams, divorce, death, strength, sheer will, family, and change and rolled them into a FUTURE. That future being Penn Claire Boutique.
I can always start out saying I HAD A DREAM, but don’t we all. Well, I had a Purpose; I needed a future and a legacy for my children. So, I went to my mom and told her it was time, we were finally going to take the LEAP, and so we did. Mom and I combined our knowledge of all our years in the fashion and beauty industry. I also thought about my children and what their passions and strengths were, and Penn Claire was born. Opening up Penn Claire Boutique has been a dream of mine for many years. I studied photography & art in college and I also hold a cosmetology degree. As a hairstylist & makeup artist I have always surrounded myself in the fashion industry.
Everyone comes in all sizes so I decided it was very important to me to offer XS-3XL sizes, because when someone feels good about the way they look it will carry over to all aspects of their life. As a busy mother of two I am always on the go, and it is important for me to be able to have clothing that can take me from a sports event for my children to an evening out for dinner with just a change of shoes and/or accessories.
Since I was lucky enough to have my Mom join me in my journey, it has been great to get her input to represent the different generations. So, when it came time for us to continue this adventure it is our dream to help every person believe just how truly beautiful they are inside as well as outside.
We are still learning, so please be patient with us, we are new to this game. We stand out from the rest because we are different, and not your ordinary boutique, as we are three generations, women of all ages, at all stages of life. So, come and enjoy the ride with us as we share our lives with you. Grow with us as we travel through this adventure to accomplish our mission to bring life and beauty together. I hope you enjoy our boutique and we would love to hear from you, as you truly are a valuable customer.
Sincerely,
The Penn Claire family,
Devin, Mary and London
