Sarah Street - Bronwyn Footwear

Today on the podcast, I speak with Sarah Street - footwear designer and founder of footwear brand, Bronwyn. Named in honour of Sarah’s late mother, Bronwyn is minimalist, consciously curated footwear designed for modern women who lead multifaceted lives - women with a love of simplicity, an eye for detail, and a desire for quality that endures. The Bronwyn design ethos centres around thoughtful silhouettes, considered details, contemporary comfort and unwavering quality - designed to be worn for seasons to come. In our conversation, Sarah shares the incredibly personal story behind the brand – from her extensive background in footwear design, the impact of the loss of her beautiful mum, launching in the middle of a pandemic, balancing motherhood and business, and how her own lived experience continues to shape everything she creates. We talk about the realities of running a product-based business - from having pallets of shoes delivered to her house, to being the face of her brand on social media. We also talk about how opening a bricks and mortar store has helped create a tangible connection between the brand, the product, and its community. Sarah is a woman who has poured heart, purpose and thoughtful design into every step of her business journey. This is such a valuable episode for anyone building a brand or starting something new - her insight, vulnerability and honesty make it a truly special listen. This is one of my longer episodes (you know I love a long chat!) - but trust me, it’s well worth it. I know you’ll love this kōrero with Sarah as much as I did. After listening, make sure you visit bronwynfootwear.com and follow @bronwynfootwear on Instagram to learn more about the brand and obviously check out all the beautiful shoes.
