Blueberry Milk was the unplanned child, a business that was borne after its founder, Sophie, spotted a gap in the market. Quirky, fun and unique, her accessories are designed to make you stand out from the crowd, in a good way.
Sophie is an accessory designer to watch out for. Her goals with the brand are inspiring and her attitude is that of a winner. We spent some time with her to find out more…
Blueberry Milk is the child that wasn’t planned! I have always been interested in fashion but my head has always been stuck in the early 2000’s and with the struggle of finding the accessories I imagined. I started making custom acrylic Jewellery for myself and found compliments coming from people on social media and this made me realise there was a hole that needed to be filled. after talking to my friends and partner about this they helped set up a business plan and I managed to find a couple of sustainable UK based suppliers. the most important thing to me was that it would be affordable jewellery that was also high quality but with a strong personal and community feel with our customers.
I would love to say that I have a hectic working day, but the truth is at the beginning it was a 15 hour a day work day but after the initial launch most of my time work day is spent on social media and finishing of my digital marketing course. I usually put aside a couple of hours a week to look for new stocked items and contacting manufacturers as future plans may contain bespoke Blueberry Milk items.
Japan is definitely at the top of my bucket list! I want to visit Tokyo, and go and experience the fashion and retail in Harajuku, and indulge in the local culture and food.
My normal self-care means whatever happens in my day, I’ll make time to complete a skin care routine, write down my thoughts on how my day went in my mood and gratitude journal and have a hot drink. However, self-care is different to each person and it should be whatever makes you feel good and calms you down.
