Meet May Owner of SanRae Boutique:
“Hello everyone!
Allow me to introduce myself! My name is May. I am the the owner of SanRae Boutique and proud mama of two amazing babes.
Our journey started in the summer of 2020 shortly after my daughter Sanela Rae was born (whom would ultimately become the inspiration behind our brand name). I always knew I wanted to run my own business. Having gone to school for Fashion Management and working in the retail world as a store manager for over 8 years I knew what my passion truly was. Everything I’ve every dreamed of sounded great on paper, the mere prospect of bringing it to life was more than a little intimidating. What if I failed? Could I deal with my ideas being rejected? Nonetheless I took a leap faith and started this shop.
Without a doubt my kids are truly the inspiration for overcoming those fears and chasing my dream.
We started out small, curating different styles based on our customer’s babies. Currently our brand has branched out by designing a few pieces specially made for our shop. I have so many ideas and designs in mind for the future of SanRae and I cannot wait to share that with all of you!
Kyla suggested I share a tip if you are a Mama chasing your dreams! One tip and what has worked for me as a “mamapreneur” is definitely working once the family is fast asleep. It’s the best time of the day, I can work uninterrupted, fulfilling any orders that may have come, searching for vendors for future merchandise and reading emails. It may not work for everyone but it has certainly helped me keep that work/life balance I have wanted for so long. Building a brand definitely takes time and dedication, but it’s certainly an endeavor I have not regretted. You’ll always have your share of attempts and failures throughout the process of becoming an entrepreneur. However, it’s always those momentary defeats that allow you to learn new things and improve your brand. After all, there are no great success story that are not built on the hard lessons and humble beginnings.
Thank you again for supporting our business. We sincerely appreciate you all being apart of our journey!”
One day when I was scrolling through instagram I saw one of my friend’s baby in the cutest little floral romper. I asked her where she got it and SanRae was the answer. This continued to happen a couple times with my friend and I finally followed May’s boutique on instagram!
When I got the little sweater romper in for Elsie I was so excited. It fits our aesthetic perfectly. First off, yellow is my favorite color, and my small business is named “Wildflower & Co” because Elsie is my little wildflower!
Check out our cute sunshine-filled Tiktok we made wearing this outfit.
I love the details on this romper, with the floral stitching! I also love the little wooden buttons and the fact that the whole romper is a sweater! I also am obsessed with the fact it shows off her chunky thighs!
The shipping was so quick, which in a world of amazon prime- is super important! It was packaged so cute and had a sweet card from May! She is quick to respond on instagram DM if you have questions as well, which I love about shopping small! Target and Old Navy are not out here answering my questions at all!
SanRae Boutique has a bunch of really adorable options for your babies and toddlers, baby boys and girls! May is absolutely rocking being a Mama and running her own boutique, and during a pandemic.
If you enjoy special boutique pieces for your baby follow SanRae Boutique on instagram so you do not miss any launches and also check out her shop here.
Thank you SanRae for participating in Mom Boss Monday! May all your Mama Business dreams come true!
Love,
