“I want to keep my prices low so that everyone has the chance to see their little princess all dolled up!” - Victoria Manley, Owner
Daysie Jane is a mama-run accessory shop located in South Carolina. Since finding success offering adjustable bubblegum necklaces and bracelets, the owner, Victoria Manley, has also added headwraps to her selection making her shop a great option for all your girls’ accessories. Before having her daughter, Navy Jane, Victoria had no idea what the small shop world out there had to offer. Once she became a mama, her interest and involvement grew.
Like most proud mamas, Victoria instantaneously developed a
desire to dress her daughter up in all the fun clothing and accessory
options that can be found in the small shop world. She quickly found
out there weren’t many affordable options for jewelry out there for her daughter. As a stay-at-home mom with no income at the time, she decided to turn her love for accessories into an income while also offering an affordable jewelry option for others in her small shop community. ...Along came Daysie Jane. This shop’s cutsie name is a combination of Victoria and her daughter’s middle names.
Victoria puts her heart and soul into her creations. She LOVES what she does. Her love of jewelry-making is rewarded each time she gets to see pictures of her customer’s cute little ones wearing her creations. When asked what her goals for her shop include, she said, “I'd love for my shop to grow more and more as the years go by.” Her joy for what she does only kindles more inspiration. She is always excited to be able to expand the designs her shop has to offer.
Victoria finds inspiration for the pieces offered by Daysie Jane from her daughter. Her love for seeing Navy Jane all dressed up has trickled down giving Navy Jane a love for dressing up herself. She loves to pick out her own bows and necklaces! Nothing is more rewarding than getting to spend time doing what you love with the ones you love.
Thanks to the income generated by Daysie Jane, Victoria is able to provide the bows and necklaces that her daughter adores. Victoria also wants everyone to be able to buy for their own little divas! Since she has the perspective of a stay-at-home mom with little income, she aspires to keep her prices as low as possible so that everyone has the chance to see their little princess all dolled up!
Daysie Jane also strives to provide great customer service; she truly cares. The quality and quick turnaround time that Victoria provides ensures customers are happy with their purchases. Daysie Jane also guarantees that if any issues may arise they will be handled with care and integrity. It is important to Victoria that these qualities remain as her shop continues to grow, so she is able to continue adding new items and styles.
