International Women's Day - The Success of the High Street ran by Women

International Women's Day - The Success of the High Street ran by Women

 

Today we’re celebrating International Women's Day and the brilliant women who make our high streets, communities and coastal towns such special places to live and shop. 

Running an independent shop is never just about a product. It’s about conversations, friendships, and helping women feel comfortable and confident each and every day. 

Along our high streets and coastal towns you’ll find so many women quietly running businesses — opening the doors early, choosing beautiful pieces for their customers, wrapping parcels, giving honest advice, and creating welcoming places where people feel looked after. 

Here in Honiton there are so many inspiring women in business quietly doing exactly that every single day. 

We feel very lucky to be surrounded by brilliant Female led Businesses that include Lace Lingerie, Fig & Ivy, Jolly Bees and Just Cards, to name just a few. 

At The Coastal Boutique, we’re proud to be part of that community of women in business who keep local high streets alive. 

We also feel incredibly grateful for the wonderful women who shop with us — many of whom have supported these shops for years and have become friends along the way. 

So today we’re simply saying thank you. 

To the women running businesses. 

To the women supporting them. 

And to the women who make our high streets such warm and welcoming places. 

Here’s to confidence, kindness, and supporting one another. 

Happy International Women’s Day 💙
