Participant Spotlight: Custom Boutique

Custom Boutique is the labor of love of sisters Michelle and Tammy Goñi. They started Custom for three reasons:

1 - they wanted to create a place that would serve as an interesting and fun platform to get women involved in helping other women...which has led to several fund raisers and plans for more

2 - they wanted to have a shop where "women could actually come and buy something." One of their main goals is to be very cute and affordable. They believe there is something empowering about how a new outfit can make you feel, and it's no good walking into a shop and loving something but not being able to afford it.

3 - a very important reason for anyone to go into their business: they both love fashion!


Their fundraisers have also been 'fun' raising as well. Last July their clothing swap netted $700 and had two trucks of clothing left for a women & children's shelter. A recent cocktail party with silent auction raised around $1200 for the All My Sisters Fund (created by ABCCM).

The next fundraiser will be the annual clothing swap, on March 2. Go early, and if you see something you like, you'd better hang on to it!

Michelle and Tammy will have special promotions and beverages at the Art Walk, and they're currently working on some live music ... stay tuned!
