サマリー
あらすじ・解説
In this episode, Julie sits down with Myriam Belzile-Maguire, Founder of Maguire Shoes : a local business that has scaled so rapidly within the last 6 years. With over 25 employees, 3 boutiques in Montreal, Toronto, and New York, with a 50% growth YoY and selling over 120 skews annually. Myriam and Romy are disrupting the old way of producing fashion footwear.
6 years in their corporate job, both Maguire sisters decided to dive head first and start a shoe line-, setting out to tackle the traditional cost barrier of wholesale by opting for a direct-to-consumer model.
Inspired by a new wave of direct-to-consumer women-led brands, Myriam and Romy aimed to disrupt the old way of producing fashion footwear.
In this episode, we discuss :
- how they scaled their business with zero upfront funding,
- funny anecdotes of their experiences working with various factories around the world
- the role of women entrepreneurs in a still very male-dominated industry
- advice Myriam has for young dreamers and/or entrepreneurs looking to start a business in retail.
