The reason behind '3:Eleven'

Some of you may already know the significance of our name 3:Eleven but for those of you who don't this is the story behind it...

Today is the 3rd of the eleventh month which is a very special day to us as it is the birthday of our late mother. A few years ago on Mothers Day we decided to get matching tattoos of this date enscribed on our wrists in memory of our Mum and unknown to us at the time this would later become the name of our boutique!

So today is 3:Eleven's day, she was an inspiration to us both and the reason we took the path that we did and it also seems that we have inherited her love of fashion! We thought we'd share a few images of her modelling her own clothing collection for her finals at Univeristy way back in the summer of 1976, we think she looks stunning... Happy Birthday Mum, hope you're celebrating in style!
