S8 E7: Reimagining Luxury from Basement to Runway with Donna Salyers of Fabulous Furs
Description
A simple basement project transformed into a global fashion brand, Donna Salyers, the founder of Fabulous Furs, the pioneer of faux fur clothing, joins us! Her initial ambition to fit in with New York City's high-fashion crowd in the 1980s launched into a sewing kit business that grossed $300,000 in its first year out of her basement in Covington, Kentucky.
Discover how strategic decisions and humility have played pivotal roles in her business’ success. As Donna states, “I would go to New York and see Saks Fifth Avenue, I would walk around there and think: anything I see here I can make and it will actually be better than buying from Saks.”
As the holiday season approaches, we reflect on gratitude and self-improvement, encouraging you to embrace the best version of yourself.
