There's nothing more rewarding than hard work paying off! We work very hard to grow our business and sustain customer engagement during these challenging times. In order to profile our business, (with the aim of gaining some potential recognition for our efforts) - we enter numerous industry award competitions. This year already we have been nominated three times as finalists in the FSB (Federation of Small Business) Awards, Muddy Stilettos Awards and more recently the Boutique Star Awards! We already have several awards and accolades under our belt and will continue to pursue the road to success to hopefully bag a few more! The grand finals for the Boutique Star Awards take place in London on 8th November at The Mayfair Hotel. We can't wait to join everyone at the winners' party! Fingers crossed we'll come home with the 'star' prize!   

We were delighted to mark 10 years of DJV on the 26th May 2022 (our official anniversary date). It's totally humbling to have made it this far and we are so very grateful for the invaluable support received over the past decade!! It's been a time of reflection, appreciation and raising expectations. Since launching in 2012, we've expanded, rebranded, extended our ranges and introduced a series of bespoke services. DJV is also now recognised as an award-winning independent retailer and has enjoyed a number of awards and accolades to date. Thank you to everyone ‘personally’ who has continued to believe in and support us - a privilege never taken for granted! For our birthday celebrations we planned a fun packed week beginning with a professional photo shoot, a fully decked out shop laced with garlands, bunting, giant gold balloons and 10 graphics, and a luxury prize draw. On the saturday we hosted an open day for everyone to enjoy and celebrate with us! Sweet treats, a guest DJ and special offers were the order of the day. We also received some fantastic press coverage after being interviewed by the Ipswich Star. The article appeared online and also featured in the East Anglian Daily Times.  READ THE FULL INTERVIEW HERE. Here's to the next decade!
