A UNIQUE BOUTIQUE

Hi, my name is Stephanie Knight and I'm the owner of Rustic Elegance. Having been involved in non-profit ministry in various capacities for 30 years, I'm having fun expressing my creative energy full time at Rustic Elegance. We opened our doors December of 2020 as a Vintage Furniture and Home Decor store. About a year into my Rustic Elegance journey the landscape of Downtown Dade City began change a bit. Two of our local women's boutiques closed and customers began asking where they could shop for women's clothing. My ears are always open to opportunities to best serve our customers, and this hit another sweet spot. After leaving college I went into retail management, managing more upscale clothing stores back in NY. I then moved to Florida and managed two shops in Hyde Park. So clothing was right up my alley.

​

It only made sense to try adding some unique clothing styles into the mix. Louise and I began adding the apparel and accessories. Our customers were loving it, so we added more and more, and the rest is our ever evolving history. We enjoy seeing our customers more, and I live vicariously through the many girl's days that so many of our ladies enjoy!
