OUR STORY
Her Hide Out is the premier women’s accessories and gift boutique in Collegeville, Pennsylvania, offering a hand-picked selection of jewelry, handbags, home décor, candles, and gifts for women of all ages. Known for our exceptional customer service and curated collection of top brands, we’re proud to be a family-owned business with roots that run deep in the local community.
Our story began in 1980, when Nancy, our founder, opened her first retail store in Skippack, PA. Fresh out of high school and driven by a passion for creativity and connection, Nancy began hand-sewing moccasins, gloves, and seat covers for friends and family. That small craft business evolved into something extraordinary. The name Hide Out was inspired by her early sheepskin creations—“hide out” being both a clever play on words and a daily reminder of the craftsmanship that started it all.
Through the 1980s and early 1990s, Nancy expanded her retail footprint, opening stores in local malls and adding new brands and styles to her growing selection. In 1994, she began carrying Brighton belts at her King of Prussia location, and when Brighton launched its line of women’s handbags and jewelry, Nancy saw an opportunity. She transformed Hide Out into a ladies’ accessories boutique, soon featuring beloved brands such as Brighton, Pandora, Vera Bradley, and many others. Her boutique quickly became a go-to shopping destination for women looking for stylish, high-quality accessories and gifts.
After 23 years at the King of Prussia Mall, Nancy sought to bring the boutique experience closer to her community. In October 2013, she opened the doors to a beautiful new storefront in Providence Town Center, Collegeville—and Her Hide Out Boutique was born.
Today, Her Hide Out continues to flourish as a local Collegeville gift shop and fashion boutique, where every visitor feels like part of the family. Nancy’s daughters, Stephanie and Andrea, have proudly joined her in carrying on the family legacy—ushering Her Hide Out into its next chapter as a multi-generational, women-led business. With a blend of timeless taste and modern style, they are leading the boutique into a new era that embraces today’s trends while staying true to the values and personal touch that have defined the brand for over four decades.
Their fresh vision keeps Her Hide Out more relevant than ever—bridging generations of women through fashion, gifting, and community. Together, they continue to expand the store’s offerings, from unique jewelry and handbags to home décor, candles, and thoughtful gifts that make every occasion special.
Whether you’re shopping for yourself or looking for the perfect present, Her Hide Out is your one-stop shop for women’s fashion accessories and gifts in Collegeville, PA—a place where style, story, and family come together.
