104 VIGOUR AND SKILLS www.vigourandskills.com reshape young adults lives who are struggling with addiction and homelessness. Do you attend any trade shows? We took part in The London Craft Week and loved it as it brings in so many people from around the world who all really love craft and want to learn more about the various crafts. Are you looking to open more stores across the UK? Ideally a showroom where customers can come and meet the makers and take part in workshops and attend talks. What has been your standout moment since opening the store, and why? We still get very over excited any time we mention what we do and people are familiar with V+S and who we are. What advice would you give other retailers? Open your mind to learning more than you expected about your concept – relish how hard everyone is working to create more sustainable shopping experiences and don’t be afraid to ask questions. What are your plans for the future? We are hoping to create a calendar of live events across the country so we can meet our customers and more importantly they can come and celebrate all the beautiful collections and craft that is around us all.
