Dawn said: “In the hotel’s amazing grounds you can not only browse and buy the beautiful pre-loved clothing, but you can also tuck into pizza, salads and drinks.”
Having moved to Nairn from London, after caring for her father Stanley, a former Inverness police officer, Dawn (57) was inspired to create something meaningful with the legacy he left her and opened this unique business.
The “Daisy” part of the name simply comes from one of her favourite flowers.
After overcoming challenges to open the shop, Dawn's background in marketing and PR, fashion research and her passion for clothes, helped her curate a diverse collection of high-quality, pre-loved items.
Dawn praised how the shop opened after a great deal of community effort.
"A lot of friends and volunteers donated clothes at the beginning, and that was amazing. When we told people what we were doing, we had a lot of customers starting to donate clothes too," she explained.
Daisy and Stanley operates as a community interest company, ensuring all profits go back into the business to further support its mission.
