Description
Morgan Hutchinson is a person that exudes brightness, happiness, and fun. And as the founder and CEO of BURU, a brand dedicated to providing polished and easy-to-wear clothes for every stage of a woman’s life, Morgan brings that contagious energy to every design. Founded in 2013, BURU got its start through brand curation with a focus on functional clothes for new mothers. However, over time the brand has grown to feature its own in-house designs, produced small-batch from deadstock fabrics by BURU’s international partners or the brand’s very own Los Angeles-based factory. In this episode, we discuss how motherhood inspired BURU, how Morgan shifted from curation to bringing her own designs to life, and how confidence comes when you are no longer hiding your true self.
