In our last podcast of 2021 we’re joined by Urenna Okonkwo, the woman shaking up how consumers budget for and buy luxury fashion.
She founded her app Cashmere in 2018 after a run-in with a pair of designer shoes that she desperately wanted but didn’t want to dip into her savings for - a feeling I definitely resonate with. The idea for Cashmere was born, and Urenna has now created an innovative social saving platform that helps trend-obsessed young shoppers save towards and purchase designer pieces without turning to credit cards or pay-later services.
Scrolling through the Cashmere app is like flicking through an issue of Vogue with iconic brands from Fendi to Gucci featured - and more designers being added all the time.
With a background as a financial adviser, it’s no surprise that Urenna is passionate about promoting a healthy attitude towards money and is dedicated to helping young women afford the life they deserve.
