EP 21: How to Start a Swimwear Brand with Aimee Kewn

Aimee Kewn is the founder of Goldesse Swimwear which is a sustainable swimwear brand ethically made in the UK. As well as the founder of The Swimwear Start-Up which helps ambitious female founders build their own swimwear brands. Aimee actually helped Candy launch her swimwear brand who I interviewed on Episode 6 so make sure you give that a listen too. In this episode, we spoke about Aimee’s sudden firing from her job and then moving to Canada in a matter of weeks which is when she decided to launch her first swimwear brand with a co-founder. This brand sadly collapsed and Aimee learned some really tough lessons about having a business partner. Around 18 months after that, Aimee started Goldesse and the rest is history. You will luckily get to learn about how to start a swimwear brand too as well as the dangers of attaching your self-worth to your business. In 2021, Aimee’s magic word is money, she talks to us about how to monetise your skills so that you can create a comfortable income for yourself.
