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)
