This week, we are meeting with Sandra Sandor, the creative director and founder of Nanushka. Nanushka is based in Budapest, has an approachable pricing strategy, and puts effortless elegance, nomadic lifestyle, and functionality as the backbone of the brand. She started her brand right after her graduation from London College of Fashion 14 years ago. Her brand really took off two years ago and received worldwide recognition.

In this episode, you will learn what she was missing to really emerge, the different milestones of the brand, what the company has done to accelerate, and much more. It was a pleasure to interview Sandra, and I hope you will enjoy our conversation.

KEY LEARNINGS

I really feel that real alchemy happens when designer intuition merges with commercial data or customer feedback. I don't think I would do anything differently. I really feel that even if I look at our mistakes, I really needed that lesson to grow to what we are now.
