The couple quit their jobs five years ago to travel the world, selling vintage finds on Depop before hitting on the idea for dungarees. In 2017, they began having small quantities handmade in India, which sold out instantly. They moved back to Yorkshire and made Indian factory owner, Ishmail, a business partner. Since then, the company has grown phenomenally, moving from Lucy’s parents’ basement to a 10,000-square-foot warehouse in Barnsley, then a 40,000-square-foot warehouse. The UK team has grown from three to 50 and in India, its new factory employs 70 staff who are paid three to four times the state’s average wage. "Growing so quickly hasn’t been easy, there’ve been ups and downs," say Lucy and Chris. "What normal businesses go through annually, we do in a month. It gives us power with suppliers but growth is tough, you have to act super fast, learn like lightning and have a really good team, which fortunately we do."
