Been an House of CB customer since eBay and Celeb Boutique days! I'm still so impressed with Conna and love following the whole brand journey. xx Thanks Patricia for a good interview.

[@ALIALARA]

So glad you did this interview! You would have helped thousands of girls looking up to a career/life like this! 💕

House of CB has no genuine competitors. Oh Polly are probably the closest but even so it’s not the same

[@whossahar2070]

lol both pretty much have the same designs. Same old corset tops/dresses made in a variety of pastel colours

[@peacheslenoir6862]

Oh polly just copy whatever they do 😂

[@whossahar2070]

@@victoriaveeart you can make something look luxurious from packaging etc but essentially both are made in the same factory in china from the same fabrics...

[@victoriaveeart]

@@whossahar2070 you don’t know that. They most likely have funds to hire a textile firm oh poly is more of a fast fashion brand similar to Pretty little things fashion nova etc

[@RebeccaSarah]

Loved this talk! House of CB is a company I've always admired because of how they've positioned themselves as a brand. So happy to hear it's owned by a young woman. Lovee the transparency in this video as well.

[@ALEXANDRABOAMPONG]

WooooooooW Nailing it it your twentys is actually a goal, Not late for me over twenty because we gonna make it...

[@scarlettkhan9667]

Can you both do an analysis video on why you think TopShop, and other British fashion stores have closed. Poor management or too expensive/not good products etc.

[@lulubelle2009]

There is quite a bit of analysis on the decline of the high street retail stores, and then specific stores such as TopShop in the newspapers like The Times, The independent, The guardian, The telegraph the financial times Google and have a look.

[@MissAbsss]

You need to look at Sir Philip Green. Every high street business he’s touched has failed

[@ye23.]

Is topshop just online now?

[@hollylouisenixon9815]

It’s pretty simple online shopping has taken over, sooooo many factors to think of like ease of online shopping, people don’t want to drive, pay crazy prices for parking, the time it takes out of your day, lack of stock in store, etc. Online it’s done, it’s purchased and most of the time next day delivery. Plus so many options to be able to find what you’re looking for within minutes and compare against other brands

[@tyasewpal1872]

Do more of these as it is so inspirational.

[@monicamanuel4531]

Two stunning, successful and inspiring women can only come out an amazing video! 🙌🏾

[@TheMonkiBrothers]

She Is lovely girl , still Had it easy to start like most do they just don’t like to admit it but she has which is nice a refreshing and honest xx

[@dontliveinfear.7640]

How did she have it easy to start?

[@khalilm2964]

@@dontliveinfear.7640 She got a loan from her dad to start the business most likely interest free. Most people don’t have capital to start off a business.

[@FA-yh4bq]

​@@khalilm2964 most ppl even if they get a loan wont be able to flip it and make the profit she has made come on man

[@TheMonkiBrothers]

As in borrowed money off her dad £3 k lived at home rent free etc . plus having entrepreneur parents in buying and selling . She has been smart with it , where as some kids would rinse and take advantage of having a good start in life and plod along x

[@mahlan3140]

So getting a loan from her father equates to having it easy. No matter where the loan is coming from starting a business is always a risk.

[@sabrinasaidso9699]
