This girl borrowed £3,000 from her parents and turned it into a £250 million fashion empire 👗💰 In 2009, Conna Walker is 17, and her parents are market traders in London who fly to China to buy stock. Conna joins them, then disappears into the clothing markets. She fills a suitcase, brings it home, and lists everything on eBay. She saves every buyer's email off the platform and contacts them directly, then sells them everything 10% cheaper on her own site. Soon she starts designing her own dresses and tries on every single sample herself. The result is a dress that hugs the body so precisely that celebrities can pull it straight off the rack and walk a red carpet without a single fitting. ✓ Flies to LA, checks into the W Hotel, and pays security to slide dresses under celebrity doors ✓ Gets Beyoncé wearing House of CB for a week straight ✓ Has JLo tagging the brand herself on American Idol, then the Kardashians pick it up ✓ Watches word spread across Hollywood without spending a thing on ads Suitcase of stock on eBay → poaches her own buyers to her cheaper site → designs dresses that fit off the rack → slips them under celebrity doors → Beyoncé to the Kardashians → one dress every 30 seconds and £250M. Sometimes the whole brand takes off because you got it onto the right bodies before spending a penny on ads. Who could you get your product in front of that would make everyone else want it? 🤔 #Business #HouseOfCB #Fashion #Success #Entrepreneur @houseofcb @connawalker
