ABOUT US
HOW I STARTED
The idea for Once Upon A Legacy started in January 2020 but before I released anything I really wanted to learn about what makes a good brand. I spent my lockdown learning all the different methods of print and would create custom 1/1 clothing using old clothes given to me by friends and family, seeing the smiles on their faces when I gave back their reworked clothes furthered my motivation to start a brand. In 2021 I took the next step in my growth by going to fashion retail academy to learn digital marketing so I would know how to grow my brand myself and to learn more about the fashion industry.
This takes us into 2022 the birth of Once Upon A Legacy. I noticed my local University (Hertfordshire University) was running a young entrepreneurs event where you could receive a grant and mentoring for your business idea and decided to give it a shot and pitched my vision, the university liked my idea and from there I’ve just been putting in more work to bring you guys great designs and garments.
OUR LEGACY
I created this brand for people who have a vision or goal in life they want to achieve I hope that my pieces can help people in their everyday life to create their own legacy and be glad they took that leap of faith wether it's starting your own business, getting your dream job or just living the life you always wanted to live.
WHY IS THE COMMUNITY CALLED THE UNTOLD?
I call us the “Untold” because the legacies you hear about are normally the legacies of athletes and celebrities but there are so many successful people who may not be in the public eye and have made something of themselves so I consider their stories “Untold” on the flip side the athletes and celebrities you always hear about were not always in the limelight and have their own “Untold” stories where they grinded to get to where they are today.
