Jessica: “Last year, my business turned 15-years-old, and we also celebrated 10 years at the Mayfair Townhouse. Looking back, I didn’t know anything about retail. I didn’t have a workshop and I didn’t have any staff. But I kept asking myself, ‘Which way do I want the business to go? Do I want to start mass producing, wholesaling and selling in stores all around the world? Or do I want to refine my craft, have one shot and put all my eggs in one basket?’ So I went for that, and for the townhouse to have survived 10 years feels like a huge achievement.”
