Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Emily Johnson. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Alright, Emily thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Let’s start with the story of your mission. What should we know?

For the love, LV is a Las Vegas boutique that is all about upgrading wardrobes and bringing love to everyone who walks through our doors.

Our family focuses on finding gratitude daily… even in the hard times.

We are authentic and honest, plus we have a sense of humor!

We are inclusive, welcoming and make time for people.

We will greet you with a smile and hope to develop lasting relationships.

Our goal is to provide a space where people know that they are valued and have worth.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

Near the end of the pandemic in 2021, we knew that an adventure awaited us on the other side. Our family started dreaming of a life that was focused on giving back to our community and becoming a fabric of the city we love. We would often frequent the Arts District in Las Vegas, to get coffee at Vesta, brunch at Makers and Finders, dinner at Ester’s Kitchen and find treasures at all the vintage shops. We had a dream of becoming a Las Vegas boutique that was about contemporary casual, new clothes for men and women.

We are Nate and Emily Johnson and are honored to owners of a Las Vegas boutique in the heart of the Arts District! Our family of 6 has been part of Las Vegas for over 13 years.

Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?

In June 2023, we upheld our mission of inclusivity by hosting Drag Story Hour. Amidst social media backlash and lost followers, we stayed committed to offering a safe space for children to experience artistic expression. Our resilient community came together, turning the event into a heartwarming celebration of art and love.

Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?

Local influencers have proven to be our most effective marketing tool. Despite various advertising efforts, nothing matches the reach and impact of a local influencer visiting our shop, showcasing our identity, and encouraging fellow locals to explore our offerings. Codi from @LocalLivin stands out as our favorite social media influencer.
