Sarah Munro is one half of the iconic Aussie label Sarah & Sebastian, best known for its beautiful, fine jewellery designs. In this chat Sarah tells the story of being picked up by the French high fashion boutique, Colette, and how, over a decade later, Sarah and her co-founder Robert have built the business to a team of 100 people, have stores in Sydney and Melbourne, and have expanded the brand into a whole range of services.   You’ll learn:  How Sarah approached the decision to quit her fulltime job to go all in on the business   How Sarah’s naivety in the early days contributed to taking bigger risks  Why Sarah & Sebastian actually started out as a wholesale brand, rather than retail  How they operate with a made-to-order business model, at scale   Why Sarah prefers to remain behind the scenes, rather than being the face of the brand  How Sarah learnt to hand over control and trust her team  Why Sarah prioritises her personal life (even though switching off from the business can be hard)  This episode is made possible by ShipStation.
