Fashion Favor

This month Fashion Favor spotlight goes to my friend girl Cepada S. Martin who is the creator of the handbag that was featured in my Bag Lady Post

Cepada S. Martin is the newly PROUD owner of Sanai Boutique along with the help of her daughters: Bakisa K. Rountree and Baceka T. Martin
On Saturday June 4th,  I was on double duty... I had a Women Empowerment Brunch to attend and left empowered and ready to go support my friend and her new biz that I was sure not to miss the Fabulous Grand Opening of Sanai Boutique

The moment I stepped inside the luxurious purple posh boutique it felt like a Fashionista’s dream come true. The Sanai staff was very friendly and greeted everyone with a smile. The boutique is TOP-NATCH and was designed by none other than the love of her life… her creative artist/designer husband Lydell Martin

Fashion Favor Q&A’s:

When did you 1st discover your favor? About 10 years ago when I started making leather purses and jewelry but I always knew I wanted to be in the Fashion industry.

What made you fast forward your favor and actually move on it? I have a major in Business & Fashion Design. I always wanted to own my own Boutique. I’ve always been into clothes, designs, looking good as well as smelling good.

Where did the name Sanai Boutique originate? My granddaughter name is Kalize Sanai, in which the boutique was name after.

When choosing colors for the boutique; why Purple? Purple signifies “ROYALTY” and it’s my favorite color.

What has been the biggest hiccup? Actually finding affordable & HAUTE fashions in all sizes.

What’s the most favorable part of owning your own Boutique?  Being able to see my vision come to life.  

What encouraging words and/or advice would you offer the next Fashionista? Be Patient and don’t give up… the BEST is yet to come.
