A snoop inside The Stellar Boutique HQ

Posted on by Stella

If you’re anything like me, having a nose behind the scenes and a peek into other peoples lives is somewhat of a guilty pleasure! So I decided to ‘open the doors’ into the heart of The Stellar Boutique and give you, my loyal customers, a perusal round the epicenter of the online fashion shop.

To call it simply ‘an office’ would be a slight injustice. Not just a stockroom, this little space of mine (converted from an old cow barn in my garden) provides me with the perfect place of focus and inspiration. A trove of vintage treasures and fashion finds, this little den is my ultimate ‘girl-cave’!

Welcome to where it all happens……

Amelia’s magazine: Exciting new concept for online fashion boutique…Dec. 09

Posted on by Stella

Stella McCartney and Kate Moss know a thing or two about good style. Both are fans of Stella McClure, owner of newly opened internet shop, The Stellar Boutique. Previously running a vintage-customised stall at Portobello Market, McClure packed up shop in 2004 to travel the world in a campervan. Now settled in the Spanish countryside, she has decided to give it another go. This time though from the comfort of her own home via the power of the internet.

The Stellar Boutique is a great concept. McClure travels the hippy-luxe trail across Europe to Marrakech in order to bring you vintage treasures. Everybody loves a one-off, and that is certainly what The Stellar Boutique provides. Featuring vintage bags, designer garments, customised pieces and exquisitely exotic homeware, there’s something for everyone.

Unlike many other fashion businesses at the moment, McClure is keen to promote new designers and ethnic artisans. (Instead of ‘Marc Jacobs’ think ‘Marc who?’) McClure insists that real style is best grown from within, instead of stealing magazine looks or following trend advice. The Stellar Boutique offers the freedom to do this.

But does it deliver? Standout pieces are endless. Let’s start with the accessories. There are the Moroccan style leather handbags.Then there are the mountains of unique jewellery to choose from. Pieces by Bora Bora, Lei Rose and Norwegian Wood are to die for. I love the porcelain tea-cup necklace and the silver postcard trinket by Lei Rose, as well as the feathered and fringed pieces by Norwegian Wood, and wow, have you seen the skull charm bracelet by Bora Bora? Even more for the Christmas list!

Next up, vintage. There’s second-hand, slightly grubby, vintage fashion, and then there’s nice ‘I’m so glad only I have this’ vintage fashion. The Stellar Boutique falls into the latter category. The vintage section of the site is easily the big winner. With clothing separated into 60s, 70s, 80s, handbags, scarves, boots and boho, it couldn’t be easier to navigate towards your era or item of choice.

Boho features peasant tops and kaftans Sienna would covet. The 70s section showcases (unusually beautiful) standout dresses at massively cut-down prices, and 80s can tailor to all your glam rock needs. There are sparkly 80s style heels and some killer red leather stilettos in the shoe department, as well as the standard biker or cowgirl boot. With menswear and more accessories coming soon, you’ve got to keep checking back for more goodies!

As if it needed to be said; everything is quality assured, hand-picked and highly loved. Check out the site to update your wardrobe for 2010 with fresh, exotic pieces your friends can drool over. For Christmas, they are spreading the holiday joy with a 20% off discount sale on all vintage and womenswear, as well as homeware! So why not pick up something for your Christmas shindigs or New Year’s bashes now instead of waiting for the mania of the January sales?!

So with these 3 exciting new jewellery collections, from all corners of the globe, all you ‘stellar’ devotees and addicts of authenticity can have your fashion fix!

NORWEGIAN WOOD

Hot new jewellery brand Norwegian Wood  has arrived at The Stellar Boutique!
Canadian designer Angie Johnson has been making waves in the ‘indie’ design world for some time with her highly sought after, cutting edge designs.
She shot to fame with the creation of the ‘cage skirt’ and cleverly followed it up with an equally innovative fashion creation, the ‘harness’, earlier this year. Norwegian Woods’ designs have been in demand ever since.
The Stellar Boutique is delighted to showcase Norwegian Woods’ gorgeous new collection of fringed and feather necklaces, as well as some of the uniquely designed harnesses.

This range of hand crafted  silver jewellery is a colourful mix of chunky silver rings, bejewelled bangles and pendants, and tribal earrings. With stunning turquoises and other vivid semi precious stones, the collection stylishly brings together contemporary jewellery design with authentic Moroccan Berber style .
And with a price tag that defeats the credit crunch, they make the perfect little ‘self indulgence’ or a genius gift for someone special.

The Stellar Boutique Launch ..7th July 2009

Posted on by Stella

We would like to invite you into the wonderful world of The Stellar Boutique.

The Stellar Boutique was created out of a love for all things original and unique. This online boutique is bursting full of one-off gems exclusive to the Stellar Boutique.

Created by Stella McClure as an outlet to showcase designers and artists from around

Take a trip through this charming new online fashion, vintage clothing and home wares store and browse through an alluring collection of beautiful things.

the world, she understands the need for originality in our lives and wants to provide her customers with an enjoyable shopping experience where they are not dictated to or told ‘how to dress like a celebrity’ as they are at many other online fashion stores!

The Stellar Boutique offers shoppers the opportunity to follow their own individual sense of style and create a look for their home and wardrobe that is unique to them.

Stella used to sell her hand-picked vintage clothing finds to the glitterati and fash pack of Portobello, and counted Stella McCartney and Kate Moss as regulars who would seek her stall out to get the newest looks styled from one-off vintage pieces. Her discerning eye has now been put to further use with the launch of The Stellar Boutique, and no doubt her old regulars will be waiting with baited breath to be able to get their hands on her hand-picked styles once again, since the closing of her stall a few years ago.

Stella packed up London in 2004 and headed off around Europe and North Africa in her beloved campervan. She settled in Barcelona and briefly flirted with the idea of opening a shop to share her inimitable style with the beautiful people of Barça, but a move to a sprawling farm just outside the city got her thinking along cyber lines. Her friends had spread across the world just as she had – there were cool people looking for stylish things living all over the world and not all in city centres, just like Stella and her hippy-luxe country house. So why not sell her range to the widest number of fans via the internet? What’s more, the bougainvillea-covered house and garden complete with goats, chickens and olive groves would make a stunning backdrop for her fashion-pack friends to come and help her model the range! And so the Stellar Boutique was born.

The range includes ready-to-wear boutique clothing, bags, shoes, boho chic, sunglasses and accessories, as well as a hand-picked vintage clothing range that spans the decades.

Stella makes regular trips to one of her favourite places, Morocco, following the hippy trail to the fabulously exotic city of Marrakech where she works closely with the artisans there to bring you top quality, hand-crafted boho bags, boho belts and boho jewellery, as well as pouffes, rugs, cushions, textiles and other home wares perfect for modern stylish interiors.
