Former support for learning assistant Maria Dickson opened her handbags and accessories business in Unit C6 of Muirhall Road business park last March.

In the last 12 months she has introduced a loyalty scheme, giving customers the opportunity to enjoy discounts, and is about to launch her new website www.lavenderbagsboutique.co.uk on Friday, March 13, when she will also host a birthday celebration – with “fizz and cake” – at her premises between 6pm and 8pm.

Maria said: “It’s going really well. Our fascinators have really taken off, I don’t think there are many places that sell them in the area so we have now got a wider selection in stock this year ready for the racing season and weddings.

“Our loyalty card gives customers the chance to enjoy 20 per cent off when they get five stamps. We have also been holding special loyalty nights for customers and our website will be going live from Friday, March 13.”

Maria actually started Lavender Bags from her home in October 2018, doing parties, events and charity days where people would order goods which she would either post or deliver to them.

Since her business opened, Maria continues to support local charities and has still endeavours to provide products for as wide a range of people as possible – not targeting any particular market, with items to suit younger girls or the more mature lady.

If someone is looking for something in particular Maria will do her best to try and source it for them.

Her ultimate goal is to secure a premises with a shop front, a shop window to draw customers in.

However, she is still living her dream, having worked in retail in the past – in a shoe shop and in John Lewis – before her stint as a support for learning assistant at Larbert High School.
