Well…..
It goes to a few places.
Our suppliers in India for the garments you’ve purchased. We chose ethically accredited suppliers and I try to choose breathable fabrics as much as possible. No one is under 21. I’ve fired suppliers for being sexist or treating me like I don’t know what I’m doing… I really care about whom we work with.
Ankita. She’s my home girl in Delhi. She’s is way more bad ass than me, once she said, “Karishma, we need x-factory-owner to know, we’re running a business, not a charity.” Uffff. She’s spicy that one.
Miriam. She is a mum of one and manages our customer service emails from Brisbane. She is waaaaaaay more efficient than I am.
Deanne. Also a mum of one, she's the one packing your orders, managing returns and just generally keeping all things warehouse in check.
The Warehouse. We share this space with some other awesome businesses, and it's a joy to pack your orders here.
Other folk;
Sam Gehrich, our Aussie pattern maker who knows how to work to our curves,
DHL, Facebook (yes, I’m sorry, I do spend money on some of the big guys! But how else am I going to remind you that we’re around? Please shop with us :)), models, photographers, Shopify and my YouTube Music Subscriptions…
Chelsea slid into my DMs when I needed excel help. She whips out dashboards and colour codes them (because she knows how my brain works). She cares so much and always shows up. I am so stoked to get to work with someone who REALLY KNOWS what she does and does it with so much passion. STOKED.
And lastly, your moolah goes to Aru and I and the occasional croissant at LUNE. Aru is my darling son, about to turn 8, but when he says to me, “Mummy don’t eat it, it’s expired..” I feel like he’s 40. Me? I’m a woman in my late 30s, who is SO STOKED you took a risk on her.
When you grow old and you’re on your deathbed, I want you to remember this amazing purchase you made on a growing brand and smile.
YOU DID THAT. You give me wings. THANK YOU.
It is because of you that I have the courage to dream up another dress, look at a flower and think: Damn, I want to see that beaded… See some fancy AF frills and be like… YESSSSS, this frizzle action is so sexy-gorgeous, I wanna try it for us….
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
