In April 2023, Solena flung open its doors, and welcomed the citizens and visitors of Saundersfoot to a boutique where colour meets style, and affordable doesn’t mean boring.
It all began with the vision of Carly Odley. As an experienced style coach and personal stylist, Carly noticed a common thread among the women she helped: the search for vibrant, expressive, and affordable fashion pieces that stood out from monotonous high street offerings.
No one wants a wardrobe that’s a carbon copy of everyone else's. Style is personal, and your clothing should reflect your unique personality, be a canvas for you to express your individuality, and stand out in a sea of sameness. Carly’s clients craved colour, uniqueness, and a way to express their individuality without breaking the bank.
Frustrated at the lack of distinctive choices on the high street, Carly took the plunge and opened Solena, a boutique that champions colour and personal style without the premium price tag.
Less than a year later, Solena has welcomed countless visitors through its doors. Together, we've shared laughter and stories, experienced the thrill of finding the perfect fit, and the honesty of leaving behind what doesn't work. Solena has become more than just a shop – it's a gathering place where passion for fashion and community intertwine.
“I love colour, I love community, and I love our customers. I hope that in Solena, everyone feels welcome and inspired to express their unique style personality.” - Carly Odley, founder
