Visionaries, episode 15: Luxury Aftercare with Emily Rea, co-founder of The Restory
You buy a pair of shoes that you love but over time you wear them out and they end up collecting dust in your closet because you think they’re no longer presentable. On the other hand, you don’t want to throw them out and aren’t sure what to do with them…
Today’s episode brings you a close look at an untapped yet ready to be served industry.
Neri sits down to talk with Emily Rea, the co-founder of The Restory, an on-demand service providing modern aftercare for luxury fashion.
At The Restory they are on a mission to empower the after care industry by bringing your favorite designer pieces back to life and making you fall in love with them all over again. Some of their partnerships include luxury brands such as Nicolas Kirkwood, Manolo Blahnik, Farfetch, Selfridges, Harvey Nichols, and Harrods.
Emily is a sustainability advocate. Her personal belief is that repair unlocks circular fashion and that after care can also be a luxury. She and her team have developed a very unique business model that promises to be the beginning of an after care tradition that is here to stay.
“You just have to start! Every business pivots and you learn from things, and you change things. As soon as you decide not to change anything, that’s when you know that you're destined to fail so you have to be willing to constantly evolve and change”. - Emily Rea There are big plans for The Restory.
From licensing to scaling, Emily tells it all! Throughout the episode, Neri and our guest talk about how the business started out of her house, how they plan to build their sustainable competitive advantage, how their partnerships enable the after care industry to grow, and more.
