Our Story

What We Do

Welcome to a new motherhood store for women and children! Where you can find great products for maternity, postpartum, infancy, toddler and pre school! 

Every item for sale is hand-picked to empower and serve women, children and our local communities. We firmly believe in serving in our communities instead of profiting off them. That's why most of our featured products are bought from local artisans and organizations that give back here in the United States and around the world. One of our favorites is Starfish Project, Inc that rescues women from human trafficking and help them heal to later live an abundant life.

But we don't stop there! We also give back to organizations that support our local community and do the work to help moms and babies through the Shiloh collection. We are proud of the work they have done in truly helping families  live abundantly even in the face of difficult circumstances.

With great enthusiasm we opened our physical store October 1st 2022 and enjoyed our first 6 months of meeting and fellowshipping with many of you. After a year of being open, we sadly had to close our doors to keep Victoria's Chest going in a failing economy and returned fully back online in time for the Christmas season 2023. We didn't give up! So when you shop with us we mean it when we say THANK YOU! You are truly keeping us going!

 

The Story of How We Started

Johnnatta Giles | Creator and Owner

 

I could tell you all about my childhood dreams to one day become a fashion designer and then that turning into wanting to open my own store one day, but we are going to fast forward and I want to share with you how the concept VC was sprouted in my heart early 2021.

Victoria's Chest started with the birth of our daughter Victoria and was opened on June 4th 2021 in memory of our daughter Shiloh Shalom Giles whom we lost that same day in 2013 due to a placenta abruption just at 22 weeks of pregnancy. We created the "Shiloh Collection" in her memory. To read more about the story of the collection click here:

One day I found an old notebook, where inside I started writing a business plan to open a store called "J.S Elegance" when I was just 21 years old.  I chuckled and thought to myself "Maybe one day I'll open a store. But not now"  and then I tucked it away and went on with my day. But not too long after that I started to tell my husband about finding the notebook and the more I talked about it, the more the desire to open a store began to grow. Then one day, as I was waking up, in my spirit I felt these words; "Now is the time to do it. Don't let fear stop you." I immediately began to plan and create VC for about 6 months before opening online June 4th 2021. At the same time I was raising and homeschooling 5 kids one of which was 6 months. It took a lot of courage to even begin this journey and a lot of prayer through many tears. This started when I was just a little girl and truly it was something I never thought I would ever achieve. 

But there were three things that had to be the foundation that would hold VC up: It had to be for God's Glory, I had to do it with my family and it had to give back to those in need. Victoria's Chest has evolved over the course of time it's been open and every day I am watching those foundations build something beautiful. 

Those foundations are what I remember when picking out every item for this boutique. And I hope through it I may build a lasting legacy for my children and fulfill my constant desire to serve women and children.
