As an entrepreneur Holly Kelsey took a ’family dream’ and turned it into a business.

I don't know many entrepreneurs, let alone someone of Holly's age, who does literally everything in their new business - from building the website, to making the bespoke items to taking the photographs of her products.

She explains how rêvedesalpes.com came about from an idea / dream her Mum and Aunt had many years ago. On gaining her Masters and realising she didn't want to remain in marketing she picked up the idea and started the business.

Holly is very keen on sustainability and it is at the heart of her business and everything to do with it. The bespoke items she makes as the orders come in to avoid wastage, she sources other items from vintage shops and even her packaging can be recycled. 

As well as running her own business Holly also writes for the online magazine Lumera which is about educating people on sustainable fashion.
