A new independent shop selling women's clothing and bespoke gifts has opened in Ottery St Mary.

New independent business, LauryLee, is located at 21a Broad Street, next to The Crusty Cobb, and opened at the beginning of January 2020.

LauryLee is a boutique and bespoke gift shop. In store you will find a small range of brand new women's clothing plus bespoke gifts and greetings cards, all of which are supplied by 'our extremely talented' local card makers, crafters and artists.

Shop owner Laura Saunders said: "At the heart of what we do is put the community first and this can be seen through our extremely popular 'rent a shelf' space in which we showcase nine hand selected crafters to display and sell their products.

"Every sale really does count to a small independent business such as ourselves no matter how small the purchase. Currently our range of greetings cards have been our biggest seller and customers love the fact they are all locally made.

"Sales of cards not only help us as a business but are helping our local artists to continue to do something they love.

"Our range of women's clothing has also gained a lot of attention, being the only shop to sell (new) adult clothing in Ottery at present. I'm hopeful for the future of this store but appreciate any and all help I can get to help this new enterprise get off the ground.

"I look forward to welcoming you in the store soon and would like to thank you in advance for supporting our crafters, card makers and independent suppliers."

Laura added: "No matter where you chose to shop remember supporting a small independent business makes a huge difference."
