Who is Anthea Copper?

As Anthea says:

Jewellery is a great way to show people what you are about; it makes an outfit so much more personal. I grew up with my Mum always wearing and sharing her treasured pieces with me. I loved all the semi precious stones. It wasn’t until my son was born I decided to follow my passion of design. I started a jewellery design course and knew I wanted to create contemporary pieces inspired by my Indian heritage that other people can treasure too. Anthea Cooper was created not only for my love of jewellery but other inspiring women following their passions. I say to anyone that wants to start their own business just do it. Don’t wait! You will never know all the answers at once, but take those steps. You will inspire you children and show them they too can do anything they put their mind to.

Who is Andrea Discepola from the Vin Min?

As Andrea Discepola says:

vin + min is a Singapore-based resort and beachwear label that was started in 2017 in Hong Kong by besties Vinima (aka Vin) & Andrea (aka Min). Vinima, mom of 2 boys, and Andrea, mom of 2 girls, met at their condo play gym one afternoon and the rest is history – the fact was, where there was Vin, there was Min!

As the duration of life in Hong Kong was indefinite at the time, and given all the time the ladies spent together, they often expressed the desire to start a business together. Business ideas were thrown back and forth for months and months! Finally, the beach kaftan concept arose from the duo’s love for glamour & fashion, and can you get any more glamorous than a kaftan? Within 2 months of coming up with their brand name, vin + min literally got down to business and released their Launch Collection in Hong Kong in November 2017, and another month later, they were available online! Sadly, in June 2018, Vinima moved back to the US where she currently works in e-Commerce for a multinational corporation, and Andrea relocated back to her native land, Singapore, where she continues to run the brand.

As a mom, vin + min has allowed Andrea to demonstrate to her girls that we make the most of our situations, look for positivity and joy in all circumstances, and keep an open mind so that we may be able to find our purpose where we didn’t imagine we ever would. A lawyer by training, Andrea has been unable to practice law in Hong Kong or Singapore as she is not locally qualified in either jurisdiction, a requirement for those in family law practice, which still remains a passion of hers. Her journey of becoming qualified as a lawyer has been quite the roller coaster in fact, due to the births of her two daughters in 2012 and 2016 and multiple moves in between, from Australia to Canada to Singapore to Hong Kong and back to Singapore! Feeling quite frustrated at times at the circumstances and always questioning “why did I go through all of that to now be doing nothing [related to the law]”, Andrea is grateful that although life has taken her on a convoluted route, she feels that being a fashion entrepreneur has in turn has given her work-life balance, and most importantly, the ability to put her family first. vin + min has also allowed Andrea to teach her girls about working before playing hard, even on vacations to Bali, where vin + min’s designs are manufactured and most of the photoshoots are done (including putting the girls to work as models for her kids kaftans). vin + min has also provided an avenue for giving back to the community.

In 2020, vin + min transitioned into a not-for-profit brand and all profits from all sales currently go to providing bi-weekly food bags, called “Sembako”, to 30 families in Bali, a true testament of where passion meets purpose. This is only the first step in vin + min’s vision of giving back and making a difference. vin + min endeavours to become a full fledged social enterprise in Bali when travel becomes possible once again.

Who is Saruchi Chauhan?

Hi I am Saruchi – A Singapore based jewellery designer and mom to my beautiful daughter “LIZU”. I was already running an artisan jewelry business when motherhood happened to me and my already busy days got even busier but definitely more rewarding. It wasn’t easy in the beginning but I had to take care of both my creations – my almost 4 yrs. old daughter and my 8 yrs. old jewelry line. So I continued the hard work and here I am today juggling both successfully and I could not be happier in life.

From a young age, I had been intrigued and inspired by the glittering world of jewellery and the highly skilled art of jewellery making. Over the years this inspiration turned into my passion, and the creative journey of “Saruchi R Jewellery” (SRJ) started in 2014. At SRJ, I believe in “expression of an individual’s uniqueness” which forms a quintessential part of my creative designs. Inspired by people and their modern work lives, my designs are elegant and perfect for all occasions as these reflect genuine authenticity, individual appeal and custom finish which mass-produced items simply don’t have. I love working with precious metals and natural gemstones which are all sourced from our select base of globally reputed suppliers. These are then handcrafted with great precision to create an elegant and chic collection. Being a very hands-on person, I am involved in all aspects of the jewellery making process at SRJ from creative concepts to crafting, finishing and even marketing. I wish that people wearing my creations feel the same joy as I feel while crafting it.

1st Jan 2018 marked the arrival of my super naughty daughter who every now and then wants a piece of my jewelry for herself. She is learning a little something about this trade from me with every passing day. I would love to see her work with me in future, if possible.
I wish rest of my life stays filled with creativity and spark which my daughter brings in to it.

Who is Rebecca Metcalfe and her story of SHE CREATES STORIES?

*How did you start your company/passion work?

She Creates Stories was born from the necessity for a middle-priced fashion marketplace for Women in Asia. Stocking a range of styles and fits from plus sized to bump friendly and everything in-between and cut in breathable fabrics. We focus on dresses, linen, separates, and swimwear. I launched it in Hong Kong in 2021 during covid when I was pregnant as I couldn’t foresee going back to work in the corporate world and I was ready to work for myself – a goal I had for turning 40!

* What are three words you would use to describe your experience of being a mother/Founder?

Fulfilling, challenging, a juggling act.

* What’s your story?

I’m Bex and I’m the Founder of She Creates Stories, a Womens Fashion Marketplace based here in Asia, selling Australian brands inspired by a coastal lifestyle. I worked as a Buying Director previously and have been in Womenswear Buying since 2004! I’m originally from the UK but spent 10 years in Australia so have both passports.
