Women Business AND The Women Behind Purple Clover Michelle Beck Maria Gannon

Purple Clover was established in 2018 by longtime friends Michelle Beck and Maria Gannon.

The two say they have created a boutique that brings unique fashion and accessories to Prescott. Besides finding the brands seen in major department stores, Purple Clover offers different and one-of-a-kind items from smaller vendors.

The goal of the store, Michelle and Maria say, is to offer a finely curated collection that promotes both classic styles and the latest trends. Most of the brands in the store can fit a variety of figure types with sizes ranging from extra small to extra large.

Besides clothing suitable for everyday wear, the boutique offers special occasion clothing and jewelry.

Purple Clover is open every day.
