A WOMAN has revealed how she transformed her life around after ending up in care aged six. Emily Abraham, 45 is the co-owner of luxury pre-loved fashion boutique Love Luxury, which resells luxury goods for hundreds of thousands of pounds. However, the business owner and mum-of-three did not have the best start in life.
From the age of five, Emily was in and out of foster care, as her mother, who was a drug addict, was often missing. And then when Emily was six, her mother passed away and she was taken into permanent foster care. When she arrived at the foster home, Emily said that she was filthy and full of nits, and didn't even know how to use a knife and fork.
However, her life started to turn around due to the positive influence of the family. "Being with them was very positive to me because they were normal people and a normal family," she told Femail. "I had a mum and a dad and they had their own three children.
" When she was 13, Emily moved in with her grandmother, but she is still in touch with her foster parents to this day and said that she can't thank them enough for the life that they gave to her. Emily said that she has always had an eye for luxurious things, a love which stems from watching her grandfather buying gold. After meeting her husband, Adam the two set up Love Luxury together, and now resell items by brands including Chanel, Louis Vuitton and Cartier.
In 2023, Emily, Adam and their children relocated to Dubai to expand their business. They also run a Ti.
