Business Story
Why this business was started
During a career break I decided I needed a new challenge. I have always had a talent for sourcing unique pieces and independent designers and I wanted to initially bring thing designers to the UK and Ireland. However, much of my business goes to the US and further afield in Europe now.
The reason of selling this business
I am a full time VP of marketing for a software company and I don't have time to nurture the business properly at this time.
What's involved in running this business
Shipping orders, social media advertising, sourcing new designers and products.
