Dinki Friends

Any advice for anyone starting out in the world of small biz ownership?

I came across It Won't Cost The Earth, a new marketplace platform for eco brands via Instagram, and it instantly appealed. It's the perfect platform for the Dinki Human brand as our ethos' align perfectly. Andrea launched at the end of February with Dinki Human as a partner and we're so pleased to be a part of this great marketplace of eco-conscious brands. Andrea hasn't let on how much of a powerhouse she is in her answers below, her juggle is admirable! I can't wait to see It Won't Cost The Earth flourish.

I love chatting to fellow small-biz owners about what gets them going and what grinds their gears about being your own boss. I have created a series of Q&As with some of my fave small brand owners in the hope we can share some behind the scenes insight into our lives as women in business. 

I met the fabulous Anthea at a pop-up shop last year, her online boutique Kanstinator and Bear (named after pet names for her two sons - cuuuute) is a beautiful and so on-trend curation of kids and babies clothing.

I met the lovely Sham of Sondr at a PR Dispatch event in London - I LOVE her imagery on Instagram, and the look and feel of her beautiful jewellery brand.

I met the lovely Chantelle of The Wild and The Tame at a pop-up market in London - her range of stunning nature-inspired baby blankets, comforters, bedding and bibs are all beautifully hand made in her home studio in Kent.

Vicks and I have known each other for years, she is a very good friend of mine and we met working in childrenswear design. I'm so excited for these guys, they have a fab product and they're a knowledgable bunch ready to do big things!

What 3 things do you enjoy most in your job as House of Hooray Boss Lady?I enjoy creating new Ideas the most, I love the process from first having the idea to making the first sample. I love being my own boss and the freedom that brings. I love the lovely messages I get from customers some of them have been really touching and its lovely to think that something I made hangs in their home and brings them joy.
