Coco Marie - About Us

When I originally moved down to Cornwall several years ago from Buckinghamshire I wondered where I could shop and buy the kind of clothes I liked to wear. I had worked in a high end boutique for several years before University and was used to buying really unique and often one-off designer clothing labels. The problem was there wasn’t anywhere at the time in Cornwall that stocked my favourite brands or offered what I was looking for.

With encouragement from our family, friends and husbands my mother and I set about starting up what is now Coco Marie and opened our first shop in Truro in October 2005. We wanted a great mix of brands from across the world that also showcased some hot up and coming designers. Originally we sourced brands that we already liked to wear ourselves and ones that were known for their great quality. As time has passed we are now being approached by new designers and we look out for exciting brands that receive great press and are known for their individuality.

We have always said that one of our strengths is the different generations we cater to because both Mother and I work together on the buying of new stock. We have very different tastes in clothing; but we feel they compliment each other extremely well, meaning our audience and customer base is not pigeonholed into one age bracket. We get grandmothers, mothers and daughters all shopping in Coco Marie together.

Originally only focusing on clothing we now stock fabulous jewellery and handbags and wonderful gift items that excite and entice customers on a daily basis.

More recently we have opened up a second store which is in the beautiful picturesque town of Old Amersham, Buckinghamshire and sadly we have closed our Truro store.

Our mantra since Coco Marie’s inception has always been “Shopping should be fun”, and that is how customers say they feel when they step through the doors of our little boutique in Old Amersham.

We look forward to serving you online, or in our lovely shop in Amersham.
