10: Jemima Aldridge on making Saddlery sexy again, her eye for style and the most incredible home renovation Dubbo’s ever seen.
Listen now
Description
Meet Jemima Aldridge, the country style icon and co-founder of Dubbo Institution Saddler & Co and luxury accommodation home, The Repose.  She's so self-deprecating about her success it's silly. But Jemima's clearly no fool...bubbling with country charm, talkative and ambitious, Jemima is one half of a dynamic husband and wife duo who started their business 12 years ago on a whim after her partner, Bede, lost his job as a saddle maker in Dubbo.    Ask anyone who lives within a 500 kilometre radius of Dubbo to recommend a great country business, any business and 9 times out of 10 Saddler and Co will get a mention.  I know because I did exactly that for this podcast series. Jemima is whole heartedly invested in every aspect of the leather goods business and creating a lasting legacy for her family, both in the products she sells and the service she gives back to the community And, not surprisingly her eye for style doesn’t stop at long-lasting leather bags and wallets, despite Jemima’s reluctance to admit it, she has evolved into somewhat of a country style icon. She’s making her own mark in country home renovations and interiors; just google The Repose in Dubbo and you’ll know instantly why I’m gushing. I’m not the only one…the media has gushed too…Qantas Magazine, Country Style Magazine, Bed Threads, Regional Development Australia have all featured her on their pages. One thing’s for sure, if Jemima Aldridge has anything to do with it, you don’t not need to sacrifice one single skerrick of style because you don’t live in a big city….and country accommodation sure ain’t what it used to be.
