I am formally the head of design for Barbour the British clothing brand.
Despite their presence in the market, I have always felt that there is a place at the very top of the market for a luxury goods supplier for this type of product. I have pursued this dream now for several years. We believe in the transparency of our sourcing. We make everything ourselves and only source fabric Europe. Our team of makers all work from home with hours to suit them and they make 1 product from start to finish.
I have managed to get from 0 to £100,000 sales on my own and for the first time now really need support to grow the business further. 60% of our sales are from our online website and 40% comes from supplying Japanese retailers
