20 months. A little glimpse.
London. Paris. Porto.
Porto 4 visits to date.
Factory floors. Meeting rooms. Zoom calls.
Endless supplier meetings.
Yarn trials. Failed samples. Ghosted by suppliers.
At one stage I had 7 factories making samples, as I quickly learned (the hard way) never put all your eggs in one basket.
Starting over more times than I can count.
Learning who to trust.
Learning what not to accept.
Refining every detail until it felt right.
Trademark secured.
FÍOR FÍON Ltd.
BIG Innovation Grant secured.
InterTradeIreland Seedcorn semi-finalist.
The Ultimate Pitch finalist.
Some special memories made along the way 😁
Paris and Porto, not all work.
I didn’t rush it. I didn’t settle.
Just kept going until it was right.
