Summary

Building a business is rarely a straightforward journey, and sometimes the biggest lessons come from the toughest challenges. In this episode of The Retail Tea Break podcast, Melissa Moore is joined by Chloe Gardner, founder of The Wonky Woolins, a multi-award-winning Irish children's toy and baby gift brand. Chloe shares her refreshingly honest experiences of entrepreneurship, from starting the business at just 15 years old to navigating the realities of growth, making difficult decisions and finding a more enjoyable and fulfilling way to run her business.

In this episode, they discuss:

  • The journey from craft markets to securing major retail partnerships in Ireland and the UK.
  • Why the brand is shifting its focus towards direct-to-consumer and the impact of social media on sales.
  • The importance of storytelling in building a brand and connecting with customers.
  • The challenges of sourcing, production and finding reliable partners.
  • Why simplifying the product range can create a healthier, more profitable business.
  • The future of retail and the growing demand for quality, sustainability and authentic brand experiences.
