Tell us about you and your background
My background is in marketing and I have worked for luxury British fashion brands, including a by Royal Appointment company.
What made you want to start a business?
I started Evemy & Evemy as a creative outlet for my passion for country lifestyle and British fashion. I have always really enjoyed fashion/styling and envisaged having my own business, so I decided to launch Evemy & Evemy in Autumn 2016.
How is Evemy & Evemy different?
A fusion of fashion with traditional country style. I take inspiration not only from the Great British countryside but also catwalk trends.
What makes your products special?
Our collection is predominantly made from fabrics crafted in Britain or Ireland. The mills have a rich heritage and I think this adds an extra layer of luxury to our pieces. Our pieces are also made in England.
If you had to sum up Evemy & Evemy in five words, what would they be?
British town and country lifestyle clothing.

Definitely have goals but don’t be too fixed in your ideas, let your business evolve over time and enjoy the journey.
