Welcome to Shop Little Cousins. This special online store was founded in 2023 by two sisters, Jen (brunette) and Katie (blonde), this boutique is not just a business—it's a place of joy and family!Â
A Sisterly Venture into Entrepreneurship
Jen and Katie are the sisterly duo behind Shop Little Cousins. Living miles apart, Jen in Roseville, CA and Katie in Paso Robles, CA but connected by a shared passion for dressing their little ones, they embarked on this entrepreneurial journey amidst the bustling life of being new moms. Katie, with two little ones under the age of two, and Jen, driven by a desire for more fashionable options for her boys, found common ground in their quest for quality, style, and the perfect way to blend their professional expertise.
With Katie's prowess in marketing and retail and Jen's savvy in finance, they've laid the foundation for a boutique that transcends the traditional online shopping experience. Shop Little Cousins is their shared dream, a venture inspired by the arrival of their children and named after their three darling baby cousins, symbolizing the familial bonds that underpin this adorable enterprise.
The Challenges (and Triumphs) of Starting a Business Remotely
Launching an online store while juggling motherhood and full-time careers wasn't exactly easy. In fact, Katie welcomed her second baby just four weeks after Shop Little Cousins went live—an event that would test their resolve and dedication. Meanwhile, Jen, dissatisfied with the selection of boys' clothes in local stores and online, was motivated to create a better resource for parents searching for that perfect outfit.
These challenges only fueled their ambition, driving them to curate a collection that reflects their personal style and commitment to the community they serve. Each piece showcased in their boutique is selected with care, aiming to bring joy and style to other families while fostering meaningful connections with their customers.
A Vision for the Future
More than just retailers, Jen and Katie envision Shop Little Cousins becoming a beacon in the mom community—a place where parents can find not only the perfect outfit for their little ones but also support and camaraderie. They dream of soon opening a storefront, further solidifying their connection with the community and enabling them to engage more directly with the families they serve.
Their goal is ambitious yet heartfelt: to become the go-to gift shop for every occasion, from baby showers and new parent milestones to first birthdays and beyond. It's a dream inspired by their own experiences and fueled by their desire to make every child shine, one stylish outfit at a time.
