Get ready to meet Stephanie Sarka, the brain behind 1 Atelier, who took a remarkable journey from the high-stakes world of Goldman Sachs to revolutionizing the luxury handbag industry! Stephanie opens up about her transformative experiences in mergers and acquisitions, her educational journey through Stanford and Harvard, and her invaluable time at Coach under the mentorship of Lou Frankfurt. Hear how these experiences shaped her vision for sustainable and thoughtful production practices that are carving a new path in luxury fashion.
In our conversation, we uncover the secrets behind sustainable luxury production. Stephanie discusses the emotional connection to artisan craftsmanship and the thrill of working with materials like leather. We tackle the significant issues of overstock and waste, exploring how 1 Atelier's 100% on-demand production model changes the game. From the differences between custom and bespoke to the pitfalls of offering too many options—highlighted by the rise and fall of MonPurse—this episode is packed with insights into how technology and a passion for fashion can drive meaningful innovation.
Stephanie's entrepreneurial spirit shines as she shares her journey from Coach to the digital frontier with Idealab, where she played a role in creating the paid search business model. Discover the strategic and creative forces behind 1 Atelier, including their "Farm to Arm" approach that promotes transparency and sustainability in luxury. From the intricacies of pricing bespoke items to the environmental impact of regenerative agriculture, this episode is a comprehensive guide for anyone fascinated by the intersection of fashion, sustainability, and entrepreneurship.
