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.

Hurray ! We’re in celebration mode (albeit lockdown style) as it’s DJV Boutique’s 8th birthday today. It’s just a shame that we can’t share this moment with our team, loved ones, special friends and lovely customers.High street shopping has changed dramatically over the years with online retailing being a leading factor. Fortunately for us at DJV Boutique we strike a balance by providing an accessible online shop: djvboutique.co.uk as well as an attractive in store solution in Ipswich town. Our research tells us that DJV clientele prefer to visit us at the boutique to experience the personal service, styling advice and to view our collections in reality.We express our sincere appreciation to all customers, supporters and associates who have made a direct contribution in keeping DJV on the map over the past eight years. A crucial network which we rely upon to keep the business operational. Admittedly reaching this milestone is a humbling experience and a positive accomplishment despite some of the obstacles we have encountered.A special thanks to those who continue to invest in what they love the most about us - our unique, stylish brand and unique fashion lines.Supporting small businesses has never been more vital as we aim to rebuild the local and UK economy collectively together. As a small team we continue to weather the storm, facing the adverse impact of Covid-19 head on. That’s why we’re looking for new ways to innovate and adapt to the changes and stimulate trade! This includes increasing the choices online, re-introducing click & collect (in-store), alongside launching a same day ‘free’ local delivery service.Once we open again for peace of mind we’ll limit customers to two at a time and introduce an exclusive “by appointment only” option for those who wish to express this as a preference. We’re also currently implementing the appropriate safe guard and hygiene measures ready for our phased re-opening. The safety of all those around us remains our top priority.We do hope you’ll visit us in the foreseeable future and thanks again for your continued support!Watch this space for our re-opening updates.
