The owner of a fashion brand popular with Liverpool's Glastonbury pack told of her pride at seeing festival-goers wearing her clothes.
Sophie Ackers set up Secret Garden in 2019 with the business going "through the roof" and proving a huge hit with girls in the city, especially in the run-up to the Glastonbury Festival next month. The 32-year-old has 49.7k followers on Instagram and is currently juggling her fashion label with a full-time job.
The company was inspired by Sophie's obsession with colours, fabrics and her love of learning about new cultures. She began travelling when she was 16 and said she was always obsessed with visiting local markets to see traditional fabrics and understand how they are made.
