GRANGER, Ind. — Two Granger boutiques merging into one space. Sorella and Soul Catching Boutiques will now be located at 6910 N Main Street, Suite 22A in Granger.
Right now is a tough time to own a business like this due to rising costs and the increase in popularity of fast fashion. Sorella Boutique was recently known as an online store, and owners Jessica and Kate tell ABC57's Sidney Moore they faced some hurdles with costs of shipping and wholesale costs along with people wanting to be able to try on clothes. They now co-own a space with the owner of Soul Catching Boutique, Shauna Marie Montgomery, who focuses on hand crafted jewelry.
Uniform Market cites fast fashion is a 150-billion-dollar industry growing by over 10 percent since 2024. These three owners have faced challenges with the growing industry and increase in prices all around.
Jessica Bauer, Owner of Sorella Boutique says, "Just since we took over two years ago, I think there's been quite a large on wholesale prices, quite a large jump. Yes, because we can see if we want to repurchase things if they're still available, and we can see the price we paid one to two years ago, and it was quite a large.”
August 1 will be the launch party for the new home of Sorella and Soul Catching Boutique from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
