Do you take weekends off?
No time for days off right now. We're bringing some people on to help out soon, but right now it's just the two of us. I think that working 24/7 when you launch a new business is par for the course if you want to succeed. Work like crazy now, and take days off later. In Spain, maybe.
How do you manage to find the 'balance' with two young sons at home?
Our hours are such that we can have breakfast and dinner as a family every day, which is a huge blessing and not something that I could necessarily expect from another job. Apart from that, much of the work for the brand is done from home, so there's always time for hug breaks.
Worst part about the job?
Working every day!
Best part about the job?
Building our own brand and watching it grow.
What is your hope for the store in 5 years time?
We look at Kerrisdale as our flagship location. Expect to see more of us around, hopefully sooner than later.
It was an absolute pleasure stumbling across Blake and Riley. Thanks so much Hey-Sun for sharing your beautiful store with us!
