Alongside golden sandy beaches, turquoise shores and breathtaking countryside, South Devon also boasts an array of fantastic thriving businesses, including Busby & Fox<\/a>. From independent boutiques to much-loved national brands that started here in South Devon, we want to celebrate these local establishments and the entrepreneurial, creative spirit of the people that started them.<\/p>\n

To kick-start our South Devon Success Stories, we spoke to Emma Vowles, Founder and Creative Director of Busby & Fox \u2013 a collection of six lifestyle stores which first opened in Totnes. These characterful emporiums are treasure troves of glistening hair accessories and jewellery, cosy Scandi knits, and fabulous dresses and skirts to dress up or down for every occasion. You\u2019ll also find those perfect finishing touches for your home or holiday cottage. Just remember to leave plenty of room in your suitcase, as it\u2019s almost impossible to not be tempted by a new holiday wardrobe when visiting Busby & Fox.<\/p>\n

\n

Hello Emma, can you tell us a little bit about yourself and how Busby & Fox all began?<\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>The start of Busby & Fox<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Emma<\/p>\n

I started on the path of my own business when my three daughters were all very young, my youngest the age of 6 months, and I started my floristry business. I worked in a florist before children, so after having my children I felt the urge to start something from home, which is how Emma Vowles Flowers started. My floristry business grew quite quickly and I found an opportunity at Avon Mill, where we opened a small lifestyle\/floristry shop. Then, the big leap was Totnes high street where we opened a store and did a mixture of homeware and flowers.<\/p>\n

We then introduced little accessories, basic knitwear, t-shirts, hats and homewares, so you could buy a lovely cardigan, a lamp and a vase of flowers \u2013 it all blended very much together.<\/p>\n

We realised a high growth in the interest for clothing in our Totnes store – those easy pieces that you could wear for any size or fit, but with something with a bit of an edge. So, we evolved that and it grew very quickly.<\/p>\n

At this point I realised that I couldn\u2019t do it all, so I decided to leave Emma Vowles on a high. I was doing up to 120 weddings per year, so as you can imagine I could not sustain and run a shop, and look to open more stores.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Choosing the name Busby & Fox<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It really felt right to call the business family and home. Busby is my Grandfather\u2019s middle name and the fox is because I was brought up in Dittisham<\/a> in Devon and it\u2019s a strong creature, synonymous with the countryside – It just works. Busby my family, the fox my home.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Growing the business<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Busby<\/p>\n

My husband and I started to grow the business. At this point, I turned to my friend Sophie Cornish, founder of notonthehighstreet.com<\/a> and said I wanted to open more stores \u2013 she knew what to do and she knew how to do it, and she was very supportive and very helpful. Then, two years ago, Sophie joined the business as a partner. So, Sophie, my husband are I are the three directors, the three musketeers, it\u2019s been great.<\/p>\n

We’ve grown from strength to strength and we now have six stores with a view to open more in the next 2-3 years.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Staying current<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Busby<\/p>\n

It’s so important for us to stay current and try our very best to give our customers what they want. There’s a lot of bad press regarding the high street at the moment, but we need to learn from these struggles.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Embracing our location and its people<\/strong><\/h3>\n

We take absolute care in making sure our customers are made to feel that their needs are listened to. We don\u2019t want to thrust what we think that person should wear, we want to hear what they need. We look at building core wardrobes that are moving forward with practicality and sustainability in mind. We\u2019re not frivolous and with that attitude, we\u2019re sustainable without even trying. We\u2019re not exclusive, we want people to use other businesses in the town, or none of us survive. We have to make our highstreets interesting.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What have you enjoyed the most about starting a business here in South Devon?<\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>As a child, we would go down to the Ferry Boat Inn<\/a> in Dittisham<\/a> and they\u2019d know what drink my mum and dad would like. The landlord would know you! It\u2019s that sense of community which is very important to us. People like independent shops, where the retailer knows your name. It\u2019s not about fashion, it\u2019s about people feeling confident, happy and current. We offer tea and biscuits, a chat, and there\u2019s space and time to try things on, not to mention honest advice and support \u2026 there\u2019s always a bottle of fizz in the fridge \u2013 why not!<\/p>\n

It amazes me how many people I recognise in our Henley shop that holiday in Salcombe and love our Salcombe shop. We\u2019re doing something that hits the right nerve with women.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

How did you decide where to open your stores?<\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Busby<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a bit like buying a house. You have your checklist of what you would like in a location. We look for period properties or a certain charm. The size of the town is important, market towns are great because they\u2019re busy and they\u2019re honest. Diversity is important to us, we have women of all ages, mothers and daughters. We go to towns and we sit and have coffee, we see who\u2019s offering what, we get a vibe and we go with that gut feeling.
\n<\/u><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Every Busby & Fox store is so beautifully presented and inviting, what inspires you the most when deciding on a style and theme for each shop?<\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Busby<\/p>\n

At Christmas, I’ll create wreaths and floral arrangements for all the stores, and we still sell fresh flowers wherever possible. A lot of people remember me as a florist, so I like to continue that story within the stores. We tweak each shop with the town\u2019s needs as well as the individuals in that town. The majority of our customers in Salcombe have second homes and they\u2019re another local, and when they come down they are on holiday. They\u2019re relaxing, they want something they can wear to the beach or that they can wear in the house. Whereas in Totnes, the clothes reflect what a person might wear for work. Ultimately, it\u2019s all about creating a nice welcoming environment where people feel comfortable.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What are your top tips for dressing a room to feel inviting and welcoming?<\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Keep it simple, don\u2019t go too themed. Use a natural backdrop that you can regularly update with accessories, like cushions with a pop of colour which you can chop and change. I love big pieces, I really think that big pieces are under estimated. You think with a small room you need small things, but a small room can really hold a big mirror, a big picture, or a big sofa (bigger than you think you need) and I think that\u2019s key to a space that really works well. Choose pieces that you really love. I\u2019m a real magpie, I\u2019m always finding vintage things, so you add your own personality with treasured items.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What are you most proud of about Busby & Fox?<\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Working with Sophie has been fantastic, amazingly enjoyable and such a learning curve – her having to find her way and me sponging off her knowledge. Sophie and I feel very fortunate that we have a great team. I\u2019m really excited about finding new opportunity in new towns and sharing what we love.<\/p>\n

Probably one of the most joyous things about what we\u2019re doing is making women feel empowered and themselves again after they have lost their way. So, to put together and grow a wardrobe where they feel empowered, that\u2019s what I love.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What do you look forward to in the year ahead?<\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Busby<\/p>\n

Launching and working on our website has been fantastic, our customers have really enjoyed the extension of shopping from the comfort from their own home. The customers that visit can enjoy a bit of Busby & Fox from home, so I\u2019m looking forward to working on that.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re looking at sourcing more beautiful fabrics and pieces that offer that something a little bit different.<\/p>\n

What I miss and I haven\u2019t done is hunt for more vintage pieces. Giving things new love and new life in the stores. Those little things that people see in the store and think, \u2018that would look great in my hallway\u2019 \u2013 I want to spend more time doing that.<\/p>\n

I love getting creative and I\u2019m trying to make more time to continue making our shops a really lovely place to go.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If you could give one piece of advice to those thinking of starting a business here in South Devon, what would it be?<\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Emma<\/p>\n

Do something that feels very comfortable and natural. It\u2019s not about reinventing the wheel, it\u2019s about making it shiny and polishing it – that\u2019s always been my thing. When I first started this I thought \u201cwho\u2019s going to like my flowers?\u201d and \u201cwhy are people going to come to me?\u201d but now I know. I was placing myself in an industry where there was demand and I was doing it my way. So, if you want to open a business here in South Devon, do what is right for you and stick to it. Don\u2019t go against your gut feeling. Do your research. It\u2019s very easy to think of a great idea and go tunnel vision. This is why I go and sit down and look at market towns and coastal towns; the town has to be right for your business. No one is going to come to a shop if there isn\u2019t other reasons to come. So, if there wasn\u2019t nice independent shops, caf\u00e9s and butchers, then why would you go? You have to have a community. I think there\u2019s probably a bit of a checklist. Do your research and follow your gut.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For those holidaying to the local area, what would you say is the most essential wardrobe piece to pack?<\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n

I would say that headbands are brilliant because you can wear them in the evening, or to the beach to keep hair out of your face. You can make an outfit that extra bit special with very little cost, so I think headbands are one of my favourite things at the moment.
