A new gift and boutique shop has opened in a busy high street.

Creations by Chloe opened on Friday opposite St George's Avenue, in Sheerness, selling various personalised items and other niche products.

The store, which has replaced DIY business PRL Supplies which closed last month, is owned by Chloe Delasalle.

The 24-year-old says the shop offers something new to locals.

She explained: "About two years ago, I started an online business through Facebook and then on eBay and my website, selling personalised items which was quite successful.

“My partner originally bought me a cricut machine to label products from my house and that’s when I started making a business out of it.

“So the next stop was to open a store in the high street.

“We have a niche market and I don’t think there’s anything else like us nearby, so people will now be able to buy things like photo gifts and T-shirts with their faces on them.

“The main items in the shop are the personalised items, but I’m also doing other off-the-shelf gifts like keyrings and general knick-knacks.

“We have baby grows and baby bibs, as well as adult clothes such as T-shirts, jumpers and hoodies which can have your own wording or logo.

“I‘ve been running the business online whilst working full-time during the past couple of years and only in the last three months I’ve started working part-time so I can get ready to start Creations by Chloe."

Miss Delasalle will make her customised items from inside the shop using a number of different crafting appliances.

She said: “There are other things coming which I intend to make with my machines once the business is up and running too.

“I make the majority of the products we sell I at the back of the shop.

“I have a laser engraving machine which allows me to cut and personalise in the wood of some of the products.

“I also have a vinyl cutter, plus a heat press and a sublimation printer which does all the photo gifts like mouse mats and mugs.”

She has not yet confirmed her opening times but is hoping to be open 9am-5pm five days a week.

She added: "We haven’t got set opening times yet as we are going to play it as it comes, but moving forward we plan to be open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
