A few wins and kind words from women who have learned from, worked with, or trusted Carina.
“She is who she says she is 💯”
“Went live and sold $700!!!”
“This is one of the best things I have ever done. Carina is the real deal and I love my store. I could not have done this alone. I'm starting to make money and she is always there to answer your questions. Thank you 😊”
“Ladies Carina is the best!!! I wish I took the leap sooner before trying on my own ❤️”
“A few weeks ago I ordered the special Carina had to build your dropship store and I did it. I set out for my launch day and I made accounts on Insta, TikTok, Facebook and I promoted my upcoming launch. And then I bit the bullet and recorded myself and bam we launched this past Monday. In 2 days I sold almost $500. I count that a win!! My biggest win I think is the traffic that has come through via the social media sites.”
“I have seriously learned a lot with you that I have not learned with anyone else. I am very grateful for that. It has boosted my self-confidence and helped with personal achievements. I want to personally thank you!”

The Boutique Store Audit is available for owners who want direct feedback on their store — but if you want step-by-step training first, start with the Courses page.
Created by Carina Hatton, founder of Knitted Belle Boutique and a Shopify strategist who has built or reviewed 3,000+ stores.
Start with the page that matches where you are right now. If you already have a boutique, go to Get More Sales. If you're starting from scratch, go to Start Your Boutique.
Yes. Some tool links are affiliate links, which means I may earn a commission if you use them. I keep that clearly disclosed.
Start with the Courses page. It will help you choose the training, stack, or resource that fits your stage. Direct support or audits may be available separately, but the best first paid step for most boutique owners is choosing the course that matches what they need right now.
The Weekly Boutique Playbook is now hosted separately at moreboutiquesales.com.
Pick the closest match to where you are right now. You can always come back and pick the other one later.
