\nWhisper Boutique has relocated to 14 Ridge Street. It was at 28 Ridge St. for the last three years.
\nAt the former site \u201cwe had a major flood when a hot water heater exploded in one of the apartments upstairs,\u201d said Nathalie Leland, owner-operator of the downtown clothing boutique. \u201cIt ended up being perfect timing. Someone had reached out to me about the space at 14 Ridge St. opening up.\u201d
\nLeland worked for Leland Paper briefly before deciding to open her own store.
\n\u201cWhen I was in college, I purchased a vinyl cutting machine. I bought it to make things for myself, but then my friends wanted me to make things for them too. I ended up creating a business out of it,\u201d said Leland.
\nThe materials and vinyl cutting process for the small business soon took over the dining room area in which Leland operated her home-based manufacturing setup.
\n\u201cBy then, I\u2019d started to dabble into more clothing items as well. It got to be where I was taking up so much space in the dining room that it was time to go somewhere else with more space,\u201d she said. \u201cOnce I moved to a storefront location, I decided to change directions. Instead of focusing on the vinyl aspect, I decided to move in the direction of a boutique clothing store.\u201d
\n\u201cI love having a business downtown. I love the people, the hustle and bustle of it. I couldn\u2019t imagine having Whisper anywhere else other than where I\u2019m from,\u201d said Leland.
\nWhisper Boutique had a grand re-opening at the new location in late October.
\n\u201cNow that I\u2019m a few years into it, I have a better understanding of what people are looking for. What works and doesn\u2019t work in Glens Falls. What might work in a store in another state might not work up here,\u201d said Leland.
\n\u201cI\u2019m also hoping to bring in a wider selection of sizes. I want everyone who walks in here to feel comfortable and find something they love,\u201d said Leland.
\nLeland recently secured a partnership with a jeweler in Florida. The jewelry line is handmade. Leland is also working to bring in local items to the store.
\n\u201cWhenever I send a gift to someone who doesn\u2019t live here, I always want to send something that\u2019s special to this area. So I\u2019m hoping to bring in some of those things to the store as well,\u201d she said.
\n\u201cWe try to keep all our prices under $45. As we expand and bring in more items, like jackets and shoes, some items may be a little bit higher. But I try to keep pricing so anyone can come in and get an entire outfit, and it be affordable. I want them to feel good about treating themselves,\u201d said Leland.
\nLeland runs a VIP Facebook group for the store. Anyone is able to join the group.
\n\u201cI love working for myself and being able to work the ideas I have without having to confirm them with someone. It\u2019s awesome. It\u2019s definitely stressful at times and it\u2019s aged me by a lot of years, but it\u2019s worth it,\u201d said Leland.
\nThe store will host a sip-and-shop in late November or early December, and will participate in the Downtown Glens Falls Ladies Night Out in mid-December. The shop\u2019s Facebook page is regularly updated with upcoming events.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
