The original Polish Boutique was opened 15 years ago in Mobile, Alabama by Amber Rae Forbes Saltz and Mandy Blankenship. Their sister, Ashley Knox is the co-owner of Polish Boutique VB, the first sister store. When Co-owners Ashley & Sarah Winstead met 10 years ago, they began dreaming of bringing Polish to Virginia Beach and in September 2022 their dreams became a reality.

Hey ladies! I’m Sarah, AKA one half of Polish Boutique. Seeing this store come to life is a huge dream of mine! I have a long history within the retail industry, but my most recent resume builder is being Mom to my son and daughter - the toughest job in the world! I have always loved creating, encouraging, and creating a positive community among women - we all need each other! I really love Jesus too. But, before this starts sounding too much like a dating profile, I want you to know how excited I am to bring positivity, community, and beautiful clothes, to our little corner of Great Neck

Hello Great Neck! I’m Ashley Knox – the other half of Polish Boutique VB. I’m an Alabama transplant by way of a WTKR-News internship and a cute surfer boy I met waiting tables at The Freemason Abbey! We got married and would you believe I’ve never actually caught a wave? (Too many Sharks!) We have two surfer kids now. To me, there is no better time spent than a day on a sunny beach watching my loves catch a party wave or going fast on a boat! I cannot wait to laugh in the shop with you and hear all about where you will take these beautiful clothes.

I couldn’t be more honored and prouder to open the 1st “Sister Store” (literally) in the 757 - your perfect destination for classy and polished looks with a little bit of Southern flare!
