WHAT IS NEW?
We’re elevating your Soken Boutique experience with thoughtful updates designed to make dress hire smoother, more fun, and more personal:
- More Try-On Appointments Available: We understand that flexibility is key when planning for a special occasion. That’s why we’ve expanded our try-on appointment options to better suit your schedule. Whether you're working from home, managing a busy calendar, or simply prefer a quieter time to shop, you can now book appointments during lunch breaks or off-peak hours. Your time is valuable, so we will always do our best to make it work.
- Enhanced Customer Service: We’ve elevated our customer service to offer a more personalized and supportive experience. Enjoy faster response times, expert styling guidance tailored to your unique body shape, and compassionate assistance from a team that genuinely values your journey. Whether you're seeking the perfect fit or styling advice for a special occasion, we’re here to ensure you feel confident and cared for every step of the way.
- Detailed Dress Info: To help you shop with confidence, each dress in our collection will now include detailed sizing information, including model height, bust, waist, and hip measurements. This allows you to better understand how each piece fits and how it might look on your own body. Whether you're browsing online or visiting us in-store, these insights make it easier to size-match across different brands and find the perfect fit for your unique shape. Our goal is to remove the guesswork and make your dress selection process as smooth and curated as possible.
- Community Partnerships: We are proud to support local initiatives through meaningful partnerships that make a real difference. One of our most heartfelt initiatives is the Soken Formal Scholarship, developed in collaboration with local schools. This initiative allows schools to identify students from families experiencing financial hardship during formal season. Through a dedicated number of Soken Sponsorships, these students receive complimentary dress hire, ensuring they can attend their special night with confidence, dignity, and joy.
