Pinky Rose Boutique was founded in 2003 by Marcia “Pinky” Charles, whose passion and creativity for fashion have been lifelong. Originally from Port of Spain, Trinidad, Marcia’s journey took her from East London to New York City and finally to California, inspiring our unique style and vision. She began her fashion retail career at just sixteen, working at Loehmann’s in NYC, where her vibrant energy quickly won over many loyal clients.
Besides fashion, Marcia is also a talented dancer and performer. In the energetic 1980s, she toured with Pepsi Cola’s “Star Search,” captivating audiences as a Tina Turner and Whitney Houston impersonator.
Growing up surrounded by this world of movement and color, Marcia’s daughter Marlena naturally developed a love for fashion and has embraced carrying forward our legacy. Together, we honor the boutique’s roots and vision.
We noticed a major gap in fashion: limited sizing options. Clothes were often designed for a narrow range of body types, leaving many women feeling excluded. At Pinky Rose Boutique, inclusivity is fundamental. We celebrate the diverse beauty of femininity, recognizing that women’s bodies evolve with life’s seasons. Our designs embrace all shapes and stories, empowering every woman to feel confident and authentic.
Today, Pinky Rose Boutique is a woman-owned, family-run business dedicated to creating luxurious, versatile clothing for all women. With personalized care offered both in-store and online, we invite you to join our community of Roses and Rosebuds on a journey of style, empowerment, and connection.
