FASHION IS MY PASSION
So….where did it all begin? Growing up surrounded by fashion in my parents‘ business from the age of 2 had a very big influence on me and is where my love for fashion began! As you can see from this photo of me with my incredible Grandad I’ve always loved a slogan tee and would have much preferred to choose my own clothes when I was a child!
As I grew up I spent many weekends as a child in my parents’ shop changing displays, putting outfits together and loved being creative. After leaving school I started working full time in the family business, we soon decided to expand the business and when I was 18 we opened a second shop, Impact, which became my baby and I put my all into it for 12 years.
In the summer of 2018 I decided I needed a new project to get my teeth into, to run within Impact, which is when Impress started! I started by making personalised makeup bags which were super popular and a couple of years later in 2020, we decided it was time for Impact to come to an end and focus on making Impress even more awesome by putting our all into it as a full time business.
Here we are now in 2025 offering an array of designs that are all made to order and can be printed onto tees, sweatshirts or hoodies. We can also print custom designs, photos and logos onto clothing too!
As well as running Impress Rutland we also have a sister business which we set up earlier this year creating handmade home decor products & gifts using reclaimed wood that can be personalised too – introducing Pren Decor and you can browse our website here
