  • Co-Founder & CEO at Portobello Vintage Market
    Mar 2020 - Present Β· 6 yrs 4 mos

    I grew up around my dad's shop on Portobello Road, surrounded by the most unique vintage clothes from the 70's and 80's from his business. My Dad and his brothers were true entrepreneurs, creating something out of almost nothing they created a business that laced the rich colourful textile heritage of India into Western fashion - creating a unique fusion of cultures that creativity. The world has changed a huge amount over my lifetime to say the least, global industrialisation and fast fashion were present well before the recent acceleration of e-commerce which acts as a catalyst towards a bleak future: Fast fashion produces 10% of the humans' carbon footprint. 10,000 litres of water cultivates ONLY 1kg of raw cotton. 35% of microplastics come from clothing. 85% of items go to landfill. Inspired by my parents' entrepreneurial drive, I set up Portobello Vintage Market. As we stand, we currently only trade items from my dad's old business online. Getting these incredible vintage items to consumers (without plastic!) not only utilises clothing that is already in the system but also promotes quality over quantity. Creating a strong business that values ethics at the core is how I believe we can support the much needed change to the fashion industry. I'm really excited to see what this business has in store, and would love to connect with anyone who would like to find out more.
