Lucie Harrild is the founder of comhla, a one-stop shop for sustainable fashion built on Shopify. Lucie shares the initial challenges of pitching her idea without a visual representation and how she decided to create a website early on to showcase her concept. 

The focus of Lucie's business is on demonstrating behaviour changes in sustainable fashion such as repairing, upcycling, and buying and selling pre-loved items. She aims to show that sustainable fashion can still be beautiful without sacrificing personal style.

Lucie discusses her plans to open a physical store and use it as a platform for online marketing. She reflects on the importance of telling a unique story, the growing awareness of the environmental impact, and ways to help consumers make better purchasing decisions,
