Read the full storyAfter months of hard work and determination, I Love Boutique has officially reopened its doors, bringing a fresh burst of fashion, colour, and style back to the community. For Amber Pollock, the moment feels nothing short of amazing. “It’s definitely been a long slog to get here, but now that we’re finally open, it’s just wonderful,” she said with a smile.
The boutique offers an exciting mix of women’s fashion, shoes, and accessories, along with a touch of kidswear and swimwear. Shoppers will also find unique extras such as hand lotions and candles, many of which are locally made. Amber went on to explain that stocking local products is a way to support homegrown talent while giving customers something special.
True to its name, I Love Boutique is filled with colour and vibrancy, reflecting Amber's passion for fun and lively fashion. “I love colour, so there’s always plenty of it in store,” she said. The boutique’s new look is designed to encourage locals to shop small, shop local, and keep their community thriving.
The reopening also marks the end of a challenging chapter. Following the floods, the business was forced to operate from a temporary location. During that time, the support of other local businesses and the wider community proved invaluable. “We are so incredibly thankful to the girls at MENZ and Damo’s Workwear for letting me invade their space since the floods,” Amber said. “Our boutique wouldn’t have survived without the generosity of the community, and we are truly grateful.”
Now, with a brand-new space and renewed energy, I Love Boutique is ready to welcome customers old and new, offering a shopping experience that celebrates fashion, colour, and community spirit.
