Sarah Munro - Sarah & Sebastian

LADY-BRAINS

Sarah Munro is one half of the iconic Aussie label Sarah & Sebastian, best known for its beautiful, fine jewellery designs. In this chat Sarah tells the story of being picked up by the French high fashion boutique, Colette, and how, over a decade later, Sarah and her co-founder Robert have built the business to a team of 100 people, have stores in Sydney and Melbourne, and have expanded the brand into a whole range of services.

You’ll learn:

• How Sarah approached the decision to quit her fulltime job to go all in on the business
• How Sarah’s naivety in the early days contributed to taking bigger risks
• Why Sarah & Sebastian actually started out as a wholesale brand, rather than retail
• How they operate with a made-to-order business model, at scale
• Why Sarah prefers to remain behind the scenes, rather than being the face of the brand
• How Sarah learnt to hand over control and trust her team
• Why Sarah prioritises her personal life (even though switching off from the business can be hard)
