Meet Olivia Kiss or Liv to us at Willow Burn. She is the manager of the new Willow Burn Boutique opening soon on Croft View in Lanchester. We caught up with Liv earlier in the month for a quick Q&A about how she's feeling about the upcoming opening and why this is a shop you will want to include in your shopping sprees.
What will the shop be?
Willow Burn Boutique will be first and foremost a second hand shop that raises funds to support Willow Burn Hospice. However, we are really going to elevate what a charity shop is, think of a gorgeous boutique filled with designer, brand and vintage gems that have been hand selected from our donations.
What excites you most about opening this new shop?
I’ve been running Willow Burns E-Commerce department for just over a year now and I absolutely love it, I am passionate about sustainable fashion, vintage clothing and raising money for a good cause so it really is my dream job. The new shop is just an expansion of that, we’ll have more space for donations to find those gorgeous treasures to raise the most money we can for Willow Burn Hospice.
What is your favourite charity shop find?
I’ve had so many amazing finds from our current Willow Burn Hospice Shops! From my Topshop faux fur coat that I wear every winter to my vintage Laura Ashley evening dress that I wore to our latest Willow Burn Gala, 90% of my wardrobe is Willow Burn and this will definitely continue. I’m likely to be the boutique's best customer.
