Here’s a little interview we did with Rebecca to find out a little more about her.

Tell me a little bit about yourself.

My name’s Rebecca, mum to 3 boys and lover of fashion, interiors and the sunshine.

How did you get into doing what you’re doing?

I’ve always loved fashion from being little and watching “The Clothes Show”!  I My first job was in retail and after I started my degree in I knew I wanted to be a buyer.  I followed my heart and headed for London, where I worked as a buyers assistant for Debenhams.  Since then, I’ve travelled all over the world with my job!

What does a ‘normal’ day look like?

Lots of cleaning!  A double school run and some taxi-ing kids to sports clubs!  Some days I squeeze in a buying trip.

Biggest achievement to date, personally or business wise?

Keeping three off spring alive!

Best style / fashion advice?

Stripes are a neutral, they literally go with anything and make everything look polished!

Best thing about running your own business?

Its flexible and I get to do what I really love!

Advice to someone looking to turn their hobby / talent into a business?

Be brave and learn from your mistakes.

Why should people shop local and support their local indie businesses?

Little independents are the life of your local commumity and the business innovators.  They are the future of keeping your High Street alive! A strong high street increases house prices, brings investment and encourages people to shop local, reducing their carbon footprint.
