IONA & LIME
Sherborne’s new independent beauty retailer selling an international premium range of curated skincare, beauty, fragrance and haircare brands. We want to create a distinctive and elegant beauty destination that is energetic, vibrant and fresh.
We’re here to give supportive advice, personal service and a sensory shopping experience in the heart of Sherborne to support our customers, our brands and our local vibrant community.
Andrea
After a global career in branding and marketing, I’ve found a true sense of belonging in the Dorset countryside, where I live with my husband, teenage daughter, and a small menagerie of pets. I’m passionate about the heritage of British brands—especially in skincare and fragrance—and driven to help breathe new life into our high streets beyond the cities.
Sophie
Originally from Herefordshire, I settled in Dorset in 2002 after a career in law and legal recruitment and spent the intervening years helping run a family farm and events venue. With my children all at university now, I’ve followed my passion for premium skincare, fragrance, and haircare-bringing exceptional international brands to discerning shoppers in Dorset and beyond.
Iona & Lime was named to capture a unique blend of beauty and vitality.
Iona, in Scotland’s Inner Hebrides, is the most breathtaking place our founder has visited, symbolising natural beauty and tranquillity. Lime represents energy, zest, and vibrancy. Together, these inspirations are seamlessly reflected in our branding and interior design.
Our tone of voice and values are equally important: Energetic, positive, and supportive, with a strong sense of place. Energy is reflected in our dynamic interiors and fresh approach to skin and beauty. Positivity flows through the sensory experience in-store and the people we choose to work with. Supportiveness means caring for our team, customers, suppliers, and above all, the Sherborne community—helping preserve the independence and spirit of England’s high streets.
