Women Who Launch: Pepa Gonzàlez, Founder and Creative...
London-based luxury childrenswear company Pepa London has been a big part of that. Hailing from the south of Spain, Pepa Gonzàlez came to London with a job working for the Andalusian tourist board and had no way of knowing that she’d soon find herself as a fashion entrepreneur. Her brand, Pepa London, features timeless collections of exquisite children’s clothing and accessories crafted in small factories in Spain. “Spanish children's fashion has long drawn its greatest inspiration from Britain—tartan patterns, Liberty prints, Peter Pan collars, hand-smocked dresses, and traditional mariner outfits—unfortunately, much of this has been lost over the years as fast fashion replaced these handcrafted pieces,” explains Pepa. She tells me that her passion for slow fashion is rooted in its thoughtful designs and craftsmanship that ensure the garments are made to last, whilst also reducing waste.

Women Who Launch: Jen Fuller from Etta Loves
For Jen Fuller, founder of the award-winning baby sensory company Etta Loves, that little spark of inspiration came from her daughter, Etta. Back in 2016, Jen was working in the corporate world, forging ahead with a career in marketing. It was whilst 6-week-old Etta was feeding that Jen noticed her daughter had become spellbound by the black and white pattern of the jumper she was wearing. “[I realised] there was nothing that combined baby essentials and sensory support, nor was there anything that employed the science of sight into the design of baby items,” she explains. “I’d seen first-hand with my daughter Etta how valuable visual stimulation could be to support both her development and help make moments across my day as a new mum that bit easier. So I took a leap and invented sensory muslins and launched the business 6 months later.”
