Minnies boutique, Brentwood

Brentwood’s most famous sisters Sam and Billie Faiers were the first of the ‘The Only Way Is Essex’ (TOWIE) cast to open off their own boutique- it seems now it has turned into somewhat of a fashion.

Minnie’s; a small boutique along the cobbled Brentwood streets is a family run business.

Walking down Brentwood high-street you are more than likely to see a few people clutching the brown paper bags with the Minnie’s logo on them; often having been signed by Billie or Sam.

But what is it really like?

The shop is only small and cosy, but that gives you the chance to talk to them and see all the stock in the shop. There is the personal touch about the shop with Billie, Sam or their Mum and Aunt offering friendly advice. The personal theme is continued through how the shop named after Sam’s childhood nickname due to her love for Minnie Mouse- hence why their range of jewellery is Minnie Mouse themed.

There are some lovely little bits to have in Minnie’s. Of course there are the glitzy, sequin, jewelled, Essex- style short, tight dresses but there are t-shirts and dressing gowns too. And mixing vintage with some cute little new items, Minnie’s keeps high-street stylish and personal.

What I really like is that the personal touch continues in their website with Sam and Billie actually modelling the majority of their clothing.

With consumerism overload in our society it is nice to see the rise of boutiques in Brentwood; lets just hope these aren’t short-lived and survive against the army of chain stores. So if you haven’t already check out Minnie’s boutique there are some lovely bits I have my eye on.
