Small Business Owner

Successful entrepreneur with the business being in business 10 years plus. This is a green  resale, clothing business with services the Danville and North Carolina communities. The business is located in the River District of Danville, Va.   The Vintage Boutique is an upscale resale boutique located in the River District of Danville, VA. This business has been in operation since November 2012.


 The business is a female, black owned business. The Vintage Boutique is a Limited Liability Corporation (LLC). The business has remained viable through many obstacles. During the Covid-19 pandemic, the boutique acquired a space in the downtown River District of the city. The boutique sells vintage inspired clothing to women and men in a relaxed atmosphere, with a quaint feel of “Old Town Shopping.” 


The mission of the boutique is to sell vintage items that are of great quality, style, and cost.  My wish is that each customer that visits the boutique will leave with a sense of satisfaction and even be able to reminisce of happier times spent with family and friends while shopping. Each section in the boutique is carefully laid out and clothing and article are displayed to reflect a theme or era in time.

I believe in the power of education for all.
