revamp boutique
Colchester
Described by Essex County Council as a "A sustainable role model business!" Our
story....When Sarah & Simon met in 2007, Sarah had just renovated her home and
Simon had no idea what change of direction was coming his way! A few years on,
after the birth of their son, they both recognised that they had more in common
than just love!
Their passion for creatively ReUsing everyday items became fun and constant
ReThinking anything from a shells to furniture to their most recent project an
Upfurbished Lodge ReTreat in Suffolk. With Interior Design experience Sarah
started to incorporate ReUsing in her schemes, recognising a “gem” that needed
some ReLoving and clients started to offer her pieces to upcycle. Not long after
she had her first furniture sale and commissions followed!
And so ReVamp Boutique was born! With basic carpentry skills from school Simon
started to adapt some of the pieces under Sarah’s design eye and soon Simon took
an interest in the upholstery side making this a formidable creative team.
Sarah’s passion is to share some ReVamp secrets, and returning to her teaching
experience she gleaned at a local college, she now runs creative ReUse
workshops which are not just sustainable but fun, sociable, excellent for your
well being and the best gifts for family, friends and loved ones!
The business has now undertaken many commissions, with Simon now an accomplished
upholsterer and Sarah a furniture artist seen at Grand Designs and Westfield
Stratford & London. The couple now have premises to run their workshops, take
commissions and sell their statement furniture as well as their Retreat, the
complete ReVamp experience, available for booking now. We would love you to get
in touch to catch the infectious bug of upcycling and ReUsing with us!
