An entrepreneur started a luxury fashion brand with a knock on his brother’s door and the leftovers from a car loan.
Ben Gallagher, a 23 year-old from Formby, is the co-founder of Luxe Collective, a fashion business which sells luxury goods for less than comparable brands. He had little interest in this area growing up until he saw his sister receive an intriguing present at Christmas in 2018.
The family rule was that presents could not be more than £100, so his sister’s designer shoes piqued his interest. Ben said: “I thought, ‘how is my sister getting a pair of designer shoes, we can’t afford that’. So I went to my mum asking how much they were, and she said they were £100 off a second hand website called Vestiaire.”
