About Us
read moreVelvet was set up in 2000, in a little shop in the North Laine, Brighton, by myself Emma. Nearly 20 years of retailing later (and 3 children!) we have moved a few times and had a few more stores, but we have been very happy in our large 2 floor Hove Store for the last 12 years, over 2500 sqft - a mini department store. I live around the corner from the shop with my 3 boys, aged 17,13,10 they are my whole world but often drive me completely crackers. They are one of the reasons I work so hard to make Velvet a success and grow it.
The Team
read moreWe are very much a family business, with my super glamorous 77-year-old Mum Iris running the accounts department and my eldest son Oscar, works in the office and stockroom, the younger ones Sam and Monty help out on our event nights handing out the cakes. Gemma: Buyer and Marketing Manager, 11 years at Velvet. She is responsible for social media, marketing, buying alongside me and leads the team in producing the fabulous displays you see in store. She is a Velvet Super Star and literally my right hand.
