Letter From A Shop Girl

To all the people who walk through our door––the women taking a well-deserved day to themselves, the moms pushing strollers with newborns napping, the partners shopping for the perfect gift, the students on a study break, the tourists discovering this town for the first time and the locals who feels like family––thank you.  

 

 

Sunday Supply was created out of a love for community, connection, and celebrating the simple, beautiful things in life. And as we celebrate our 7th birthday, we can’t help but think of all the people who make this place more than a brick and mortar boutique. The role of a shop girl might seem simple: to work in a shop, welcoming customers and telling them all about the latest arrivals on our racks. In reality it is one of the most rewarding roles we could have, thanks to you. Whether it’s finding small world moments over the newest batch of Heritage and Bloom earrings, bonding over a mutual love for good quality denim, or hearing about the person whose birthday card you’re purchasing; it’s truly the relationships across the counter that brings us joy and makes Sunday Supply a community as well as a shop. 


Being a shop girl also comes with an important responsibility: to lift one another up and celebrate the beauty we see in each other. And what we’ve learned in seven years of Sunday Supply, is that there is beauty everywhere. How lucky are we to be inspired by you, the people we meet everyday. We hope you feel as excited to walk through our doors as we are to welcome you here! 

Whether you’ve seen them on our Instagram or you’ve had the pleasure of meeting them in person, here are the friendly faces of Sunday Supply’s Shop Girls!

Dear SS,
Your way of making me feel at home on your shop has helped to feel at home in my body…having beautiful clothes to put on each day is one way I can work on my journey of feeling more comfortable in my skin! Thanks for being a part of this journey, happy birthday to my one-stop shop for all the things!
Best Sunday Purchase:  Oh gosh. I can’t! Maybe my Lotta clogs but this is too hard. Also the soul candle is single-handedly responsible for getting me through each semester of grad school.
