AT THE HUB, WE BELIEVE TWO THINGS ARE TRUE
1) That all women deserve to feel beautiful no matter their income, style, size, location or fashion knowledge;
and there is no better place than a boutique to help her achieve that.
2) That small business owners in the boutique industry deserve a voice, and a community to call home
that allows them to connect, collaborate, learn, grow and tell their story!
We live each day to serve those two sides of the boutique industry. To help consumers find their favorite boutiques around the world, and to help boutique owners, small brands, designers, service providers and fashion influencers come together to connect, collaborate, learn & grow.
Or in formal terms, The Boutique Hub is a multi-faceted digital media community, spreading the love of boutique fashion while connecting the industry behind it.
Our #BoutiqueStyle platform curates the best in all styles of boutique fashion around the world daily to share directly with consumers, and allows them to find a boutiques to follow and shop directly.
The #BoutiqueBusiness platform connects the boutique industry of boutique owners, brands, designers and influencers to connect, collaborate, learn, and find the tools and resources they need to grow their business.
We are so honored to serve women who simply want to look and feel beautiful by finding a boutique that ‘get’s them’, while also connecting thousands of boutique owners and fashion-industry members behind the scenes to connect, collaborate and grow their businesses.
We drink lots of coffee, and LOVE what we do.
About the Founder
Once upon a time, boutiques were elusive creatures that were difficult to find online. That’s when our Founder Ashley Alderson first started The Hub based on her desire to shop boutiques around the world, regardless of her rural location.
Hailing from North Dakota where her nearest shopping opportunity was over 300 miles away, she longed for a place online she could go to find and shop the boutiques she loved together in one place.
What happened next was pretty exciting.
Once launched, Ashley’s formal background in small business development and marketing began to foster a deeper community at the Hub. Ashley noticed that these owners she featured needed a greater voice in fashion, specialized coaching and training, and a central point to connect, collaborate, share tips and find tools to grow their businesses.
Today, Ashley passionately leads The Hub and it’s two sides of its platform, while still coaching and mentoring many boutique owners, and being an advocate for small businesses in fashion.
She is a wife, busy momma of 3, jewelry junkie, barrel racer, cancer survivor, speaker of sarcasm, and heart for those with a dream.
