The Lucknow Sentinel, 2015-02-18, Page 3New Children's Boutique in Lucknow IWTB's Li'l Bitty Boutique Valerie Gillies Editor/Lucknow Sentinel Danielle Sutton, owner of I Want That Bag (IWTB) consignment shop in Luc - know was surprised by the number of people who came into her store on Campbell Street and asked if she would be carrying children's clothing along with her adult clothing and items. When planning IWTB it had been decided that to do so would have required a lot of space and a large inventory and was not included. Due to the high demand for consignment chil- dren's wear, Sutton has now opened a second location at 119, Bruce Road 1 called IWTB's Li'l Bitty Boutique. It had been pointed out to her that the nearest store of this type was Goderich, which is a long way to travel for a lot of shoppers. They wanted something local to serve the sur- rounding rural area and communities. The new store is located on the north edge of Luc - know in the old Gibson's Farm Equipment shop, which allows for lots of parking. The office and retail side of the building has been taken over to create Li'l Bitty Boutique with each office housing items for a different age group from the Little Dip- per room for the under 24 -month -olds up through to the Teens Rule space which goes up to size 16. There is a Kid's Lounge in the centre of the space which includes a play room, movie room and toys to keep the children entertained while the adults shop. In keeping with the model set up in the origi- nal store, Sutton will extend the policy of sup- porting local craftspeople and those with home- based businesses by car- rying their children's - related products in the new location. Handmade items that are already car- ried are wooden toy boxes, headbands as well as stuffed toys and dolls. Shoppers will also find a display of painted chil- dren's furniture. Currently Sutton has over 300 consignment vendors registered in the original IWTB store and 40 in the new Li'l Bitty Boutique. Not only is this a consignment business, Sutton sees it as a way of creating jobs for the com- munity. She welcomes those people who are looking for business advice or mentoring to begin their own busi- nesses. She considers both locations to be networking sites, not only to the oppo- site location, but also to make referrals to other businesses and services in Lucknow. Sutton envi- sions Lucknow as a desti- nation for shoppers with all businesses networking with each other to strengthen and grow each other's clientele. It will take a while for the IWTB's Li'l Bitty Bou- tique to grow. Sutton plans to hold a Grand Opening in the spring. Clothing and other chil- dren's items are already available in the new store. Eventually Sutton plans to add outdoor play and other equipment to the products offered. Jordanna Shular and Karen McKay will be co - managing IWTB's Li'l Bitty Boutique. It is open Thursday and Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. You can get infor- mation by calling 519-812- 4983 or visit www.iwant- thatbagconsignment.com.
