Business Background
The Inspiration
For many years, founder Penelope Jane Whiteley has been frustrated by the lack of stylish fashion and lifestyle products for mature women.
As a globe-trotting woman of a certain age, Penelope has travelled the world and found it lacking when it comes to providing experiences and products that respect the needs and desires of women with wisdom.
Glamour Basics
Rather than continue her fruitless search, Penelope decided to design and launch her very own range of glamorous, yet comfortable clothing for women of a certain age, called ‘Glamour Basics’.
- Clothing made from fabrics that respect a ‘hot flush’, is comfortable, easy care, and is top quality.
- Clothing that is tailored and styled to forgive the “bibs-&-bobs” of a new body shape that you most want to hide.
- Clothing that is designed and worn by a woman who is your age (maybe even a touch older!), is living a real life and believes every woman deserves to look and feel fabulous … every day.
The Spirit & Culture
Being a ‘real woman’ who has loved, lost and lived life, Penelope’s path has been one of creative endeavour, in which she has sought to assist others in whatever way possible.
It’s this spirit of creative endeavour which lead Penelope to write ‘Hot Stuff: The Ultimate Guide to Style for Women of a Certain Age’, a book that was inspired by her love for several close friends during a time when they, like herself, were struggling with menopause and changing body shapes – “nothing looks good on me any more”.
Her care for others is apparent in the culture and environment that has been fostered at Penelope Whiteley. It’s what drives the business, influences the products designed, respects our customers and how our team treats one another.
