SIMPLY STATED IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT
Windows overlooking Broad St. sidewalks are becoming more fashionable.
Simply Stated is Edenton’s newest contemporary women’s boutique now dressing the windows of the former Byrum’s Craft Store.
The shop is owner Hanna Davey’s latest entrepreneurial adventure. It offers a welcoming shopping atmosphere and the collection highlight’s Davey’s eye for fashionable classics.
“My first criteria is that if I would not personally have the item in my own wardrobe, I won't have it in the store. That way I keep the store vibe and style consistent”, Davey explains,
“I like to have a style that caters to a wide age range of customers.I like to offer style that is classic, and will age well in your wardrobe throughout years and seasons”.
Her fashion savvy style is evident walking through her shop filled with Fall novelty sweaters. Recently a white cardigan with knitted rosebuds graced the front window along with coordinated trousers. Davey also offers dress selections for day and evening wear, and a wide selection of timely accessories.
Much of Davey’s experience comes from her days at East Carolina University where she earned a Bachelor Degree in Fashion Merchandise and Consumer Studies along with a minor in Entrepreneurship. The degrees blend well with her early dreams of being a store owner in Edenton. In pursuit of that dream, she had the opportunity to intern at Downtown Diva throughout college.
“CandaceThompson, at Edenton’s Downtown Diva clothing store, was a great mentor. It was pretty clear to me this is what I was meant to do once I got out of school” expressed Davey, “ I was very driven to work for myself. Then I launched an online shop in 2021”.
The young fashion entrepreneur had a methodical approach to building her retail brand by perfecting her on-trend ‘pop up shop concept’.
“I did my first pop up shop in Wilmington. I was so nervous, but it was a huge success.I started scheduling more and more events as we got more noticeable around Wilmington, and I did over 100 pop up shops all over North Carolina”. Davey continues, “I could not have done it without their help of my parents, especially when I got up to doing 10 events per month, sometimes multiples in one day”.
Davey is excited about her upcoming first year anniversary in November. Although the store is focused on women’s fashion, it carries an interesting selection of accessories.
It was apparent Fall arrived as Simply Stated’s large windows featured the latest suggestions for cooler weather.
“I don't buy just what I think will sell. I have to love it for it to be in the store.I also am picky about the fabric content, and how the product will wash”, Davey elaborates “I love sharing style with people! It just makes me happy, and I want my customers to feel that too.
