ABOUT US (2 become 1)
SUNDAY 10TH 2014 AT A UK TRADE SHOW WAS WHERE IT ALL BEGUN, STARTING ITS LIFE AS A DUO.
BOTH LOUISE AND I BEING FROM FASHION BACKGROUNDS & BECOMING GOOD FRIENDS IN A PREVIOUS JOB DECIDED TO GO FOR THE DAY TO KEEP ON TOP OF THE MARKET & SPEND SOME GIRLY TIME TOGETHER. DURING A LONG CAR JOURNEY FROM LIVERPOOL WE DISCUSSED EVERYTHING FROM WORK, LIVES, FAMILY…THE LOT….THIS LED US ONTO SHARING OUR BURNING DESIRE TO WORK FOR OURSELVES. BEFORE WE ARRIVED WE DISCOVERED OUR PASSIONS WERE IN DETAILED PRODUCT…SPECIFICALLY SWIMWEAR AND LINGERIE.
….THE GLAMBASSADORS WAS BORN!
OUR 1ST YEAR WAS TRULY UNBELIEVABLE. WE BOTH STARTED OUT TO RESEARCH & COLLECT IDEAS THAT WE LOVED, WE DESIGN, PATTERNED, SOURCED MATERIALS & TRIMS, SEWED, RESEWED, MODELLED, SHOT AND POSTED ON OUR SOCIAL MEDIA PAGES OUR VERY OWN CREATIONS. THE REACTION WAS IMMENSE! WE STRUGGLED TO FULFIL ALL BESPOKE ORDERS AND WE KNEW WE HAD TO REVIEW OUR BUSINESS MODEL FOR OUR 2ND SEASON.
WE KNEW THIS COULD BE THE START OF SOMETHING GOOD! THE EXCITEMENT OF CREATING SOMETHING FROM AN IDEA ONE OF US HAD HAD, WE WERE CREATING BEAUTIFUL, COLOURFUL AND INTRICATE PIECES OF SWIMWEAR & BEACHWEAR…THAT SHE LOVED!! HOWEVER WE BOTH FELL PREGNANT AND HAD OUR BABIES THAT FOLLOWING SUMMER WHICH MEANT THE BUSINESS WENT ON THE BACKBURNER LEADING US TO PURCHASE MORE STOCK ITEMS THAN WE HAD ANTICIPATED TO KEEP THE NEWNESS FROM DRYING UP.
FOLLOWING OUR RETURN FROM MAT LEAVE, WE HAVE PARTED WAYS REGARDS THE GLAMBASSADORS AND ALTHOUGH STILL VERY BEST OF FRIENDS I NOW EMBARK ON THIS LEG OF THE JOURNEY ALONE!
VERY EXCITED & EAGER TO GET THE BUSINESS BACK TO THE DEMAND OF THE 1ST YEAR I HAVE BEEN WORKING TIRELESSLY ALONGSIDE MY FULLTIME JOB TO MAKE MY SS19 RANGE SOMETHING SHE WILL LOVE JUST AS MUCH AS I DO!
....SO HERE I GO HEART, SOUL, EVERYTHING!
THE NEWLY REBRANDED ‘THE GLAMBASSADORS RESORTWEAR’, HERE TO SERVE YOU & MAKE YOU FEEL UNBELIEVABLE IN YOUR OWN SKIN!
...LETS TURN HEADS & BREAK HEARTS...
I HOPE YOU’LL EMBARK ON THIS JOURNEY WITH ME!
