OUR STORY

Meet the team

Hilda May was born in mid September by mother and daughter duo - Lisa & Caitlin, however their dream of opening a clothing store had been on the cards for many years before.  

For over a decade Lisa & Caitlin have worked together in the Early Childhood Education setting. Whilst they have loved every moment educating little minds they discussed their dream of owning their own clothing store. A business that they could involve the whole family including Sophie, Lisa’s youngest daughter and Caitlin’s three children. 

Twelve months before pursuing their dream Caitlin and Lisa networked and spoke with some of the finest agents and designers of beautiful clothing. They were able to secure some of the best that there is. Procuring brands that have styles and sizes that suit all individuals. The importance was placed on clothes that ensure the wearer feels beautiful and proud of who they are. 

When deciding a name for their boutique it was decided “Hilda May”. Hilda is Caitlin and Sophie’s precious Great Grandmother, they knew that she would guide them lovingly in their new business as she had done with her many children and grandchildren.

Hilda May started as an online business due to their town having no vacant stores. In December 2022 their application for a shop front was successful.  January 2023 they began their in-store  trading all while continuing operating their online business. Throughout 2023 their little business began to grow at a rapid rate and Hilda May outgrew their small space. In November of 2023 Hilda May moved into their new space where it continues to flourish.

Cait and Lisa have big ideas and dreams for the future of Hilda May and cannot wait for their loyal customers to come along for the ride.
