People of Bicton - Naomi Jones

The shop’s name is “Id Clothing” and it is a spiritual term for self because I wanted it to be about you when you come into the shop. It is about the fashion but it is more about the person who comes into the shop, and making you feel good about yourself with fashion. I love people and meeting new people which is probably my favourite thing about having the store. Of course living up here and going to school around here, I do know a lot of people and you get to meet a lot of people in the community.

I love being in the shopping centre up here because it is not so much everyone knowing everyone, but everyone looks out for everyone and keeps an eye on each other. For example, we have an elderly gentleman who comes up everyday and he has some special needs and if he doesn’t come up here we’re all onto it, you know, “where is he? Has anyone seen him?” You know we aren’t related being up here but everyone keeps an eye on everyone and I think that’s a really nice thing. It is also a sense of belonging with the local community and dealing with the issues together, and that’s really lovely.
