The Ethos
Here at La Vida, we specialise in affordable luxury in ladies' fashion and accessories. Our range is constantly evolving as we only buy our collections in limited quantities so you can enjoy wearing unique pieces separating you from the usual high street crowd!
Our uniqueness is part of our charm and means we stock very individual products reflecting your personality. We give you a relaxed and informal atmosphere so you can browse at your leisure or if you wish, receive personal attention from Donna. She can help you find your own unique style and this personal shopping service is a particularly popular service!
La Vida is a little hidden gem. People always telling us how many compliments they’d received by simply wearing our clothes. We always welcome new faces to our showroom to get their latest fashion fix! La Vida has also gone global as we send pieces to loyal clients as far field as Australia and the US.

Our Story
La Vida Boutique’s story began way back in 1999, when Donna and her mum Katy opened our first store in West Sussex, in Horsham’s historic Carfax.
What began as a mother and daughter’s love of fashion and a desire to encourage women of all ages to find their own unique style, has grown into a successful business.
After spending many years in Horsham Carfax, Piries Place and Swan Walk, we’re now based in our Boutique showroom venue in Stans Way (off East Street), going from strength to strength.
We’ve now been in Horsham for over 20 years and we’ve won many retail awards as well as worked with a number of celebrities, including Gok Wan. La Vida Boutique also holds charity fundraising events and hosts local fashion shows, collaborating with amazing local independent businesses.
