"We opened in 2021, which was mid-pandemic and now in a cost of living crisis and recession it had felt like the tide was against us, but now it really feels like it’s all been worth it."

Miss Doonan was born and bred in Norwich and despite leaving for a period of time decided to return to open her business. 

The store sells "consciously curated" womenswear, accessories and homeware, the vast majority of which is handmade in Norfolk.

She added: "I feel like we're really starting to thrive - this year we've introduced loads of new makers and have grown a lovely customer base."
