VICTORIA’S TOP TIPS for success

LISTEN TO CUSTOMERS I ADAPT MY DESIGNS ACCORDING TO WHAT PEOPLE WANT, MAKING DUNGAREES WITH SHORTER LEGS OR FINDING ALTERNATIVES TO LEATHER STRAPS FOR VEGANS. WEARERS KNOW WHAT WORKS BEST.

CUT YOUR LOSSES SOMETIMES I SPEND HOURS DESIGNING A GARMENT BEFORE REALISING IT WILL TAKE TOO LONG TO MAKE. WHEN SOMETHING ISN’T WORKING, GO IN ANOTHER DIRECTION.

TAKE BREAKS I USED TO WORK STRAIGHT THROUGH THE DAY. NOW SIMON MAKES LUNCH – AND MAKES ME STOP. ENSURE YOUR BUSINESS ALLOWS YOU TO ENJOY YOUR LIFESTYLE.

WORK IN COMFORT I ONCE WORKED FROM A ROOFLESS BARN – MY FINGERS WERE SO COLD, I SAT NEXT TO A BURNER. NOW, I HAVE A STUDIO, BUILT BY SIMON, AND AM SURROUNDED BY NATURAL LIGHT.
