Ep. 16: Tapping into the emotional experience of Shopping with co-Founder of Collagerie Serena Hood
There is nothing more soothing for me when I’m browsing the web and finding a website that makes me feel right at home. The checking-out of the brain after a long day, checking out outfits and home goods just to land on a website that has it all is jackpot.
That one stop shop is Collagerie.
I hear you, here’s yet another shopping website that just brings no value to your day. Or does it? Their exquisite curation of fashion and lifestyle for every wallet is spot on. Their British flair is in the air but the American co-founder Serena Hood brings in her preppy well-travelled background to the mix. Both Ex-Vogue UK editors, she and her partner Lucinda Chambers take you on a friendly journey of shopping consciously and cautiously, preferring the One Thing over Everything adage to the usual over-exposure to endless products. At Collagerie, they know shopping is an emotional experience that shouldn’t be daunting. They found there was a gap in the fashion industry of mixing high street and high end rolled into one destination website.
As this is exactly what T-Factor Tall Inclusive Fashion and the Lifestyle is about, I wanted to learn more from the expert how to bring a highly curated selection for every wallet, but in my case, for Tall Women (and Men, yes, one day).
So if you’ve always wanted to start your own fashion journey, and I know so many of you Tall sisters have, this episode is for you.
Collagerie has been featured in Vogue, Forbes, Bussiness of Fashion.
The brand also offers Stories with captivating tastemakers.
The values of the brand are based around Inclusivity.
