e014 Sophie Rist: Running a successful business by yourself while changing the way we look at sustainability

Listen to Sophie Rist, the founder of the sustainable lifestyle
brand Agnes LDN. Before starting her own business, Sophie was
working as a designer in the fashion industry. Over time she
started feeling like her role didn't match up to her personal
morals so she decided to tackle the issue and started Agnes
LDN in 2018. 


Sophie created her label with the aim to educate and inspire
people to put the planet first in their everyday
actions. Sophie’s personal journey to living a more
sustainable lifestyle helped build the initial product range,
using up fabrics she had left from her Fashion Design degree she
created grocery bags to help reduce the need for plastic
packaging when buying food. Since 2018, all products have been
designed, tried and tested and manufactured by Sophie.
