Lawanda Thornton, owner of two Lavish Boutiques, encountered a challenging path and journey of pure faith to get to where she is now and share her story to help others. When you come into Lavish, not only do we dress the physical man, but we also dress the spirit man. Before you leave, we ask you to take a word for the day, usually scripture. A word to encourage, inspire, and uplift those who enter Lavish Boutique. “It's more ministry than anything for me.”
