This week sisters Angie and Amanda Cambareri, owners of Vincent Boutique in Ottawa, Ontario, join Nadine for a candid chat about closet staples, owning a clothing store, and how they protect their tight bond while also ensuring they make the necessary decisions to continue growing their business.

Growing up in a close-knit Italian family, they both share how their early creativity and love of shopping was encouraged, and how their contrasting personalities - Angie being the responsible helper and Amanda the rule-bender - became a strength for them as business partners and entrepreneurs. 

From bootstrapping inventory and continuing to hold their full-time jobs in the early days, Angie and Amanda share their hard-learned lessons and their hopes for continued growth as they reflect on this last year as being the toughest they've ever experienced. Tariffs and shifting behaviours in their customers changed the landscape and prompted a strategic reset, diversification, and refreshed social media. 

Long story short - these two are not ones to rest into routine. They are continually learning, pivoting, testing markets and hosting events, all the while focused on the same thing since day one - making their clients feel seen.
