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.
