In this episode, I talk shop with Sidonie Warren, one of the founders of Papersmiths. Papersmiths is a small chain of stationery stores with a highly curated and beautiful range. Sidonie and Kyle started Papersmiths with just £500 and now has 5 stores in Brighton, Bristol and London. During our chat we spoke about:

• The Papersmith Story and how it all began

• The challenges of growing an independent retail business

• What’s next for Papersmiths

• How Sidonie finds new products

• The best way to get in touch and submit your products to Papersmiths

• Trade shows

• What will be hot for this autumn and much more
