Mary Cummings opened her fashion and clothing boutique ‘mary&me’ in Piccadilly Buildings, Sheep Street in Kettering, at the beginning of September. Having been an integral part of the ‘Venutti’ team who held the premises for the past three years, Mary took over the fashion concern when the Venutti owner, Chris Dagless, decided to concentrate on the wholesale side of the business.
With a background in banking and finance, Mary extended her business acumen to include a keen interest in the fashion industry and the retail side of running a company. Establishing mary&me is a perfect life-style choice for Mary, combining her passion for fashion and customer service with the ability of visiting the gym before the shop opens. Mary also draws great benefit from the knowledge of her daughter, Natalie, who at 20 is studying Fashion Merchandising and Buying at Manchester Met and also works as a Brand Manager for a fashion Agency.
Natalie is a great source of inspiration to Mary and often comes home to sell to her mother! Many of the brands in mary&me are Danish by origin, with well-matched and colourcoordinated styles. The hand-picked items are aimed at different groups of people which allows the shop to reach out to a wide audience and cater for most age groups. Current brands include Salsa, b. Young, Ichi, Yest, Soaked in Luxury, Cream Postcard from Brighton (made in Leicester), Jayley, Robell and Vanilla Moon. New ranges will be introduced in the New Year and there will be item that you can pick up for a present for a girlfriend or perhaps something to take as a small gift for a host.
mary&me also hosts a ‘man chair’ for the patient partner - who will be offered a cup of coffee and the Saturday paper... if it is Saturday! mary&me is open Monday to Saturday 9.30am to 5pm.
