7 YEARS OF VERAMEAT.COM
Thank You Magical Creatures!
Seven years ago today I was a super young thin girl who wanted to start a business. Everyone, literally each person I asked, told me they thought it was a bad idea. Who ever heard of an eccentric model with no investors or savings starting a successful accessories brand. Well I didn't care what anyone said and started verameat.com
Through the support of you all purchasing VM through my website, a few years later I was able to not only stay in business but open retail stores! I can't tell you how thankful I am for your insanely thoughtful life changing love and support. As you all know I love a good sale so we're doing 60% off which I literally never ever do, but want to today to say seriously thank you so much for helping me make a wearable art brand a whopping success!
On instagram @verameat many of you ask me what inspires me so I thought I'd make a short fun list, I'll try to condense but it's hard!!
Movie's, my Father was a film producer so I grew up on film sets, oh love:
1. Beau Travail, The Intruder & Trouble Every Day by Claire Denis (adults only, French)
