Clara Bentata, owner of Lucy and Belle, explains why the business should win the home business category of the Guardian Small Business Showcase competition.
Lucy and Belle is a shopping destination for children’s clothes. We are a small, family home-based business with a big dream to become a leading contender in the online retail market for those shopping for babies and little people.
At Lucy and Belle our retail offering is unique. We source beautiful, high quality brands from both within and outside the UK, offering our customers a first-class shopping experience.
Our carefully curated collection of products represents our core overriding value which is that the innocence and simplicity of childhood should be cherished. A palate of white, baby pink, blue and neutral tones weave through our store and changing bags, new baby clothing and travelling accessories are our key lines. In fact, we proudly sell the car seat cover as chosen by the Duchess of Cambridge for Princess Charlotte.
All entries which meet the competition criteria are published and our judging panel select a shortlist of the top three for each category. Winners are announced at an awards ceremony in summer 2016.
