Whether you're searching for the perfect present or indulging in a little self-care, this boutique promises to have something special waiting for you.

Starting Lock & Key

Kris Heimpold, the owner and visionary behind Lock & Key Boutique, has always had a passion for shopping. Her love for discovering unique items combined with a desire to support her community inspired her to create a space where women can shop locally, feel confident, and enjoy a supportive, inclusive environment.

“I figured that since I love to shop, I might as well do it for others!” Kris shares with a laugh.

Kris’s mission goes beyond retail. She aims to foster a warm and welcoming atmosphere where customers feel comfortable exploring, asking questions, and finding pieces that make them feel their best.

“I carry a little bit of everything. My goal is to create a cozy, inviting environment for everyone,” says Kris.

The Story Behind the Name

The name "Lock & Key" holds a special place in Kris’s heart, rooted in cherished memories of her grandparents’ farm. The farmhouse, always a gathering spot for her close-knit family, featured a skeleton key lock on the front door—a feature that remained unchanged, no matter how many times the door itself was replaced.

“Our family was incredibly close, even with my mom being one of five siblings,” Kris recalls. “Every Sunday, we’d all gather at the farm. Those memories are a huge part of why I chose the name.”

The boutique’s name reflects not only Kris’s personal history but also her desire to create a space where customers can unlock joy, confidence, and connection.

Collaborating

From the moment Lock & Key Boutique opened its doors, Kris has prioritized building relationships with other local businesses. Recently, the boutique joined forces with LahVDah and Confident & True for Hamilton’s first-ever Pink Friday holiday event, showcasing the power of community collaboration.
