Melia & Co appears to be a small family-run business. The sweaters on its website feature a photo of a woman hand-knitting a Christmas design. The caption says that after decades of creating knitwear that tells "quiet stories of care and beauty”, she is closing her little studio and the pieces on offer are her last.
The website of Olivia Westwood Boutique also spotlights a charming backstory. The "About Us” section states that twin sisters run the shop their mother opened in 1972 and share her commitment to a a business "rooted in family, community and women uplifting women”. Shoppers could take advantage of a sale honouring the boutique's late founder on what would have been her 95th birthday.
