Lynsey Incarico owns V&G Boutique with her husband, Ciro, where they sell authentic pre-loved designer goods
A mum-of-two who lost her job "overnight" has launched a designer boutique in a quirky and interesting location.
It first opened in June 2020, against the backdrop of the coronavirus pandemic, but Lynsey had years of experience and knowledge of the pre-loved designer market prior to its launch. Upon Thomas Cook's demise, Lynsey began selling products on shopping platforms eBay and Vestaire and, soon, her home was "getting like a shop", with products filling every spare corner.
"I lost my job overnight. I was part time so it worked around the children, and I was watching the news and saw Thomas Cook went bust. You don't expect to lose your job. Nobody had a clue it was going to happen. Lynsey continued: "Obviously, we had to close from August to December [2020] because of covid, so it was quite challenging. We were doing things online or by appointment to try and keep going.
