Lauren Ferguson is reaping great rewards by helping the women of Falkirk keep up with the latest fashions.
Lauren is the owner of the Sister and Fergie boutiques and has made a name for herself as a key player in the area’s fashion and clothing industries. Now Lauren’s notoriety has spread further afield as Sisters had been nominated as one of the top 100 inspirational independent boutiques by Draper magazine. The magazine is widely regarded as the fashion industry’s style bible.
Lauren said: “I was surprised but delighted to be nominated. Drapers asks lots of people in the industry to vote on who should be on the list. The fact that it is other businesses who are voting makes this a real achievement. It shows that we are perceived as ‘hot’ in terms of the industry.”
Fashion and retail has always been part of Lauren’s life as her father owned Brown’s gents outfitters in Lint Riggs. Her and her brother Gregg first ventured into clothing with Tammy Trout Clothing which had premises on the Falkirk high street.
Lauren decided to open her own ladies boutique in 1996 and now runs two shops in Falkirk’s Lint Riggs.
She said: “With Sisters and Fergie we offer something for all ages and sizes, whether it is a 15-year-old wanting to spend her pocket money or someone looking for a special occasion outfit.
“I always aim to keep it fresh and innovative. It’s important that we keep evolving. That’s one of the reasons we now have our own factory to produce our Queen B range. It certainly seems that what we do one day, other shops follow.”
