Anderson spent a year in Italy studying shoe and accessory design, before setting up her business in 2008. She shares work and retail space in Mt Maunganui with Teresa Hodges - the designer behind the women's fashion brand BLAK.
How did you come to share space with Teresa's business?
Teresa and I have had a great working relationship over the last few years. Her label, BLAK, has been successful in the New Zealand and Australian markets and I admire her work ethic. We often get advice from each other and brainstorm solutions, and our brands compliment each other in a great way. So it was a natural step for us to 'move in together'. By joining forces we were not only able to share a workspace but also to open a store that would offer women a complete look.
