Sonika Surati started her lifestyle blog while working in the medical field. Once she welcomed her first daughter, her passion grew into a fashion-focused Instagram account where her 56,000 followers watched with intrigue as she shared her shopping finds and styled outfits.
But Sonika had a goal to bring her brand beyond Instagram, and in early 2024, she launched her online boutique, Harper’s Den.
“Because I have been in the influencer space for so long, I got to know my audience and what they would want, what they previously shopped on my page, things like that,” Sonika shares. “It’s a place where you can find affordable, yet trendy pieces.”
Everything in the store is under $100, and is a reflection of Sonika’s personal style her followers have grown to love. And the name of the boutique itself is an homage to each of her three children.
“Harper’s Den is inspired by my own personal style, but it’s a lot of everyday pieces for the trendy everyday girl or the mom on the go,” Sonika says. “But there are also casual and casual dressy outfits, and lots of pieces that you can mix and match.” While Harper's Den ships nationally, the brand is owned and operated in Franklin and offers free pickup for the local community.
Of course, Sonika still operates her personal Instagram account where she shares Harper’s Den pieces in addition to other finds she’s seeing in stores and online. Plus she shares styling tips and outfit ideas.
