June Small Business Feature: Leni Boutique
Ipswich, MA
Tell Us About Your Business:
Leni Boutique is a sister-owned Online Woman's Clothing Boutique. When we were in the process of starting our small business we wanted a name that had meaning to us behind it. Our grandfather, who we lost in 2018 was named Leonard. Everyone knew him as Lenny. With our own little twist on the spelling to make it chic we came up with Leni. Our goal from the start has been to deliver our customers the latest fashion and we strive to bring pieces from loungewear to rompers, dresses, and outerwear at an affordable price. As we continue to grow you can look forward to seeing more accessories, shoes, and denim. We carry clothing that all age groups can find something they love and can feel comfortable and confident wearing. All though we are based online you can find us popping up at different locations around the North Shore. We have a rack of clothes to shop at Beautify Makeup Boutique and Spa in Ipswich, MA and Stone and Ivy Salon in Quincy, MA. We have some exciting pop-ups for the month of June that you can find out more information about on our Instagram Page!
