about lucy

 
When I opened my first store, I guess it was only perfect I named my business “Sola Lucy” which translates to “Only Lucy.”  I was really on my own for the first time in my life, and in looking back, I’ve always been very independent by nature.   
Passion doesn’t even come close to describing my love of fashion, but the one thing I always wondered is how it could be more green.  I wanted to do something that combined fashion with community and give customers a place to shop that really meant something to them by providing a different approach to shopping at the big box retailers. So in 1994, I took the leap and opened Sola Lucy on a little Berkeley street off of 5th and Delaware, and now we’re still here going 15 years strong. 

As a conscientious consumer, I whole-heartedly believe in eco-friendly business practices.  It’s the little things that count and make a difference in our daily lives.  Our customers bring us their recycled bags which we reuse every day for new client purchases, and we make every effort to reduce the amount of paper produced daily by corresponding with our clients through email. 

With today’s economy, more so than 
ever, I feel that it’s essential to maintain 
our focus.  It’s so rewarding to be able to
offer stylish and contemporary fashion
to the community at affordable prices. 
It’s the quality of our merchandise that is 
paramount.  Everyone who comes to 
Sola Lucy - both shoppers and sellers - 
If it wasn’t for their choice to walk 
through my doors, we wouldn’t be here 
after 15 years.  We value what you bring 
to us, and you are the key to the success
and growth of Sola Lucy.   

Next to opening my store, having my girls 
has been the greatest achievement of my life. I wanted to make a difference in the world by being a good role model and showing them that anything is possible if you have a dream and work hard to make it happen.  I am so appreciative to have this wonderful and fulfilling opportunity to do it everyday.  

Thank you for your continued support of Sola Lucy. 
It means the world to me.

xoxo
        Lucy
