H+J and I started this journey together as they opened their retail store in Valley Junction, WDM,IA several years ago. They chose me as the expert that could deliver results to their goal: to match the larger national brands with timeless, elevated style and lots of personality! We did that.

Opening this unique plus size clothing boutique, their ideas were clear:

"We are beautiful. We are strong. We are capable and amazing humans and we have grown to LOVE our bodies. We are two stylish proud plus-sized women who understand the struggle so many women face with finding clothing made specifically for them.

That's why we created Harlow and James.

We wanted a boutique with variety, actual choices that allowed you to select the pieces you loved, not what comes in your size. We wanted dressing rooms with fans and large enough chairs to sit down. We wanted to be able to shop online and know the items delivered to our door would fit. We wanted a personalized experience with women who *just get it.*

So we built it."

Clients love them and support them because they truly care and live by the words, selling clothes is the least important thing we do here. Now that is branding!
