CWE helped me step back and work on my business, not just in it.
What inspired Jadziah’s business?
Jadziah was inspired to take over the business as a second-generation owner when her mother-in-law invited her and her husband to continue a 30-year family legacy. What began as a natural fit for her longtime interest in second-hand clothing evolved into a vision to honor existing community relationships while transforming the shop into a modern, elevated consignment boutique that reflects today’s values around sustainability, style, and local impact.
Business Highlights
Under Jadziah DeRosia’s leadership, Camille’s Consignment Boutique has grown into a modern, community-centered retail destination that champions sustainable fashion and local economic impact. The business supports local consignors, extends the life of quality clothing, and keeps dollars circulating within Rutland’s downtown.
How has CWE helped Jadziah in her journey?
With strategic support from CWE, Jadziah created dedicated time to work on her business, allowing her to take a deeper look at operations, clarify her target customers, and sharpen her messaging. Through CWE’s Power Forward cohort, she refined her business pitch and developed a clear expansion strategy, which enabled her to successfully apply for and receive a $10,000 forgivable municipal loan. This funding is supporting the opening of a second-floor wedding boutique, positioning the business for thoughtful, sustainable growth and long-term success.
How does she feel about owning her own business?
Owning her business gives Jadziah a strong sense of purpose and pride, rooted in knowing her work contributes positively to her community while allowing her to grow personally and professionally.
How has building her own business changed Jadziah’s life?
Building her own business has expanded Jadziah’s horizons, helping her realize her capabilities, build confidence in taking on new challenges, and embrace opportunities she hadn’t imagined.
What creating a business of her own has done for Jadziah
Creating her own business has given Jadziah flexibility in balancing work and family life, increased her involvement in her local community, and allowed her to make a meaningful, tangible impact.
