Bliss at 5812 on Grove Avenue is owned by sisters Brooke Holland Kelly and Kate Holland Duncan. We love the sister-sister thing they have going on and how deliberately they curate their store. From eccentric Bailey 44 pieces to comfy Bella Dahl button downs, they have a great variety from basic to statement and everything in between. We picked out a few of our favorite pieces recently and asked them a few questions about owning a boutique in Richmond. Read on to hear what they have to say!
What is the best part of owning your own boutique?
There are so many perks of owning our own boutique. The most important one to us is being able to have our kids with us everyday. Not many people can say they get to work with their sister and kids. It’s also fun to be able to share our style with our customers. The buying trips are always fun too!
What is it like working as a sister-team?
We can’t even imagine what it would be like not being a sister team. Not only is it fun to work together everyday but we also balance each other out perfectly.
How would you describe each other’s style?
Our styles are very similar. Kate is more of a pants person while Brooke likes more dresses. It works out perfectly when we do buying for the store
What is your vision for Bliss in the years to come?
Our vision is to keep doing what we’re doing. We are going on 7 years now! The potential for a Baby Bliss would be nice in the future, but we will see!
Do you have a favorite go-to piece for fall?
The 360 Cashmere Sweaters are our go-to this Fall/Winter. So cute, comfy and unique!
What is your favorite aspect about being located in Richmond, VA?
Richmond is a fun town! We love being located where we are. It’s also a college town, so we get customers in from all over the United States!
Stop by and see the sisters and their adorable little ones next time you’re in the neighborhood or take a trip across town to find new fall favorites! Cath’s Bliss look will be up next. Stay tuned.
