Virgin StartUp Changemakers

In Conversation With Paynter Jacket Co.

01 Feb 2023

Description

Meet the founders behind a cult brand revolutionising the fashion industry, one garment at a time.Paynter Jackets began as an experiment over a long-distance relationship. The first jacket they ever produced sold out in 86 seconds, so as experiments go, this wasn't too bad.Becky Thomas and her husband Huw Thomas, created an innovative clothing brand by taking the traditional models of the fashion industry and turning them on their head.Today, if you want to get your hands on a Paynter piece, you'll have to be nimble-thumbed on release day and hit that refresh button.This isn't some marketing trick, or a celebrity-endorsed must-have, the simple but poignant ethos behind Paynter is that they only produce a strictly limited run of each of the pieces they sell every year.In a world of over-consumption and fast fashion, Paynter are showing you can be be slow, limited, and still create a thriving business.Thanks to our partnership with Virgin Money, we’re able to make our MeetUp events free to attend, providing thousands of early-stage founders with the support they need to start and scale businesses in the UK.Virgin Money are here to disrupt the status quo. They want everyone to have a much happier relationship with money. Through their brilliant colleagues, inspiring spaces and digital solutions, they are doing everything they can to offer a life more Virgin. They provide a full range of banking products and services to help founders at every stage of their business journey.#sustainability #fashion #virgin #virginmoney Hosted on Acast.
