Charlotte Mills remembers drawing sketches of shoes when she visited her grandma's on Fridays as a child and always knew she wanted to create her own designs one day. She took a big risk in 2014 while working full-time, and remortgaged her home to set up her own business in the spare room.
Her aim was to create a wedding shoe brand with a difference - after previously working for brands such as River Island. After failing to get a government loan or any money from the bank, she kept her new business a secret from her employer, in case it folded, and spent every waking moment outside work trying to get it off the ground.
