In the heart of Banbury, amidst storage units and corridors filled with secure spaces, something magical is happening. Beautiful Unique Seamstresses, a bridal alterations business, has found an unconventional yet perfect home within the walls of Magenta Self Storage. Despite some initial scepticism about their choice of location, everyone can agree that the Beautiful Unique studio has found its perfect home at Magenta.
Embracing Unconventionality:
The tale of Beautiful Unique begins with Samantha’s passion for crafting bridal accessories. What started as a part-time endeavour in a converted garage at their previous home evolved into a full-time commitment in 2013. However, life took a turn in 2019 when they decided to sell their house and embrace the unique lifestyle of living on a narrowboat. Unfortunately, the smaller space made it impossible to continue their business. The need for a bigger premises to foster growth led them to Magenta Self Storage in Banbury—a decision that transformed their business.
The Magenta Advantage:
Renting an office and two storage units at Magenta’s Banbury store proved to be a perfect fit for Beautiful Unique. The spacious office, filled with natural light, became the ideal workroom for crafting bridal masterpieces. Two storage units, strategically utilised, turned into functional spaces—one for supplies and dress racks, and the other transformed into a beautiful fitting room that captured the hearts of clients. With bright studio lighting, large mirrors, carpet, and curtains, you can hardly tell the pretty, private studio came from storage units!
Bridging Dreams and Reality:
Beautiful Unique Seamstresses doesn’t just alter gowns; they weave dreams into reality. Samantha’s favourite part of the job is the challenges it brings, and the joy of being a small part of an essential day in people’s lives. The business thrives on the uniqueness of each day, and this passion and commitment have found a home within the setting of Magenta Self Storage.
Magenta’s Supportive Environment:
The dedicated staff at Magenta’s Banbury store have been integral partners in the Beautiful Unique journey. When the idea of transforming a storage unit into a fitting room was presented to them, their support was unwavering. “Helen and Kerry could not have been more helpful when this idea was first put to them, and we are very thankful for their encouragement to go ahead with our plans,” expresses the founder, Samantha. This support has been a cornerstone, providing the women at Beautiful Unique with a positive and encouraging work environment.
