Instead of starting a brand from scratch, she stepped into an existing business with loyal customers, real inventory, a balance sheet, and an unwavering belief in the future of retail. This conversation gets into what it actually looks like to run a multi-brand fashion boutique today — from buying decisions and trade shows to navigating instinct versus data. We also talk about learning a customer and buying patterns, what makes the Upper East Side the most valuable retail landscape, and the brands flying off her shelves.  Timestamps: 01:30 — Buying Ludivine at 22: Why she chose to purchase instead of start from scratch 05:45 — Finding the business on BizBuySell and stepping into an existing P&L 10:00 — Learning before changing: understanding a legacy customer base 14:40 — The Upper East Side shopper: loyalty, psychology, and neighborhood dynamics 19:15 — Buying strategy: trade shows, inventory bets, and seasonal planning 23:50 — Instinct vs. data: when to trust your gut  28:00 — Social media’s role in a brick-and-mortar business 30:45 — What actually makes a multi-brand boutique sustainable today Shop Ludivine  https://boutiqueludivine.com/ Follow Madison on Instagram  https://www.instagram.com/madisondowd/ Follow Madison on TikTok  https://www.tiktok.com/@shopgirlmadison Let’s Get Dressed YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@livvperez Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpod/ Newsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperez Liv Perez  Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperez TikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perez ShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperez Hosted on Acast.
