Hi, I'm Nicole, the founder of MadreForte.

By day, I work in corporate America. By night (and weekends), I'm packing orders, creating graphics, trying on new arrivals, and showing up on social media, and building this boutique one busy day at a time.

MadreForte means "Strong Mother" in Italian, and that name means everything to me. It represents the women who are doing it all — working, raising families, chasing goals, handling real life, and still wanting to feel confident, put together, and like themselves.

MadreForte is not your typical boutique, and honestly, neither am I. Around here, we believe you can be polished and a little unhinged, soft and strong, corporate and creative, a mom and a business owner, all at the same time.

More than a boutique, MadreForte is built on confidence, resilience, and showing up unapologetically as yourself.

Welcome! I'm so glad you found me. I hope you love it here. Now...let's go shopping.
