In this episode we getting some doing your own thing and niching down insights from Sally Mansfield.
Solo parent of a 12 year old, Owner and founder of manners London, lifelong hustler (on a quest for rest), poem scribbler, word lover, joy seeker, designer & survivor.
Sally has created the brand born out of necessity, tenacity and the love for sisterhood (more on that in our chat) ‘To lift you up when all the women in you are tired.’ Using a trademark jersey fabric for everything – this is not your average body con. Sally’s entrepreneurial spirit is contagious and her love for community and power of sisterhood runs deep.
Find your niche, find your people – and never more so than this example from Sally. Manners London is as much about community as it is clothes. From the customers, fans, collaborators to the sewists.
A heads up there is swearing (again - and reckon probably in every episode coming to realise).
