The next few guests on the podcast are the founders of brands that I have invited to be a part of the Caro Pop-Up running for 2 weeks, starting on the 7th December in The Space in Bruton.
Katie Leamon, was the first stationery brand I bought for Caro. Introduced to me by a mutual friend, I remember the eponymous marble collection selling out extremely fast. You can now find her greetings cards, wrap and notebooks in a number of luxury stores across the world including Harrods, Fortnum & Mason & Selfridges as well as many independent shops.
We meet online and talk about the beginnings of her business - catapulted in 2010, after Liberty picked her up at one of their Open call days. We chat about how she’s grown her brand and seen various iterations of what that looks like as well as where Katie Leamon is heading. We chat about the memorabilia that inspires her and how her designs organically evolve with her aesthetic but also her customers.
I am excited to introduce her ReLove Christmas Collection to the pop-up, with traditionally illustrated fathers Christmas’, reindeer and snow-topped cottages - it truly brings that nostalgic feeling we all love at this time of year.
