Where does Yume come from, the name, and why did you choose that, and what does that mean to you?
Every product you create in every leather goods that you have created and now that incredible recyclable nylon you're using, it all has a lot of depth to it.
Can you tell us a bit about your design process, like how you come up with your concepts, what they mean, often named after somebody you know?
Something that's maybe more behind the scenes with you, May, is just how much thought goes into how you're having a positive impact.
And, you know, we're a B Corp, which, you know, we think quite a lot about our business being a force for good.
And I know you may are too.
So tell us a bit more about what being a B Corp means to you.
Business should be a force for good, eh?
You've always really focused on luxury leather goods.
But more recently, in the last year or two, you've gone into this recycled nylon.
Can you tell us why that came about?
growing it from an idea in Dunedin to now having stores across Aotearoa.
You're also in Australia often and a really strong online presence too, even being in New York too.
So tell us about how you've intentionally gone from, I love designing and making, the entrepreneurial spirit to now I'm a fully fledged businesswoman with, you know, a team and I'm running this internationally.
Like how have you scaled yourself and thought about growing
you know, learning more in the business world over the last 10 years?
Yeah.
I really like how all of those things that seem really unscalable at the start really do compound and that it does take time.
You know, I think some people
think Sharesies is, you know, it's just all of a sudden happened.
