How do you manage working together?
Katherine: We have been working together for two and a half years already! I gave Théo carte blanche on the schedule and the organization from the beginning! Which must have been confusing for her, but I think she's getting used to it! ;) I wanted her to have as much fun doing things as I did, I also wanted her to be creative in her way of communicating, to make her place with her personality.
I have complete confidence in her and her motivation, it worked quickly and it works perfectly! Fortunately, we are not stuck in the Showroom! There is the office and I very often work from home. I always enjoy seeing her again, I hope she does too!
Theo: Quite simply, because we have very distinct roles. I'm in the showroom, managing logistics and welcoming customers. Mom is on the creative side, between the workshop and the seamstresses. We touch on everything, but our areas of expertise remain well defined, which makes our duo very complementary.
How do you manage stress on a daily basis?
Katherine: I try to work without stress, we make clothes :) It has to remain pleasant and fun.
The only pressure I tolerate is when I have an order in the wild or when I have a production defect... or a material defect, so it doesn't go very far ;)
I'm much more stressed with Philo's wedding to prepare!☀️
Theo: Honestly, I've never really been good at managing stress, so I don't have any great advice to give... The collections come out quickly, every 1 to 2 months, so there's always a little stress about making sure it's as popular as the previous one. But it's also very exciting! We work at our own pace, without too many projects in parallel, and that suits us fine.
What do you think is Théo's greatest quality?
Théo has unfailing motivation and above all the ambition to always go higher, or further... to constantly improve and I find that this is a precious quality when you are in the development of a company like ours. It's a bit like madam + 😂 I feel stronger by his side.
