Happy 2nd Birthday Attollo!

We are 2! We cannot believe how quickly the past 24 months have gone! 2 years ago today, we both started to work everyday towards Attollo!


730 days and we’re still here and can’t wait to launch Attollo next year!

It’s hard to believe that Attollo is a two year old business, especially as we’re still pre-launch!

We wanted to share a few of our greatest moments that we've had with Attollo since our birhtday last year:



1. Getting 'Pretty Muddy' in the Race for Life 5KM last September!

 

2. Convincing Virgin that we were trustworthy with a £30,000 loan! 


3. Meeting Cath Kidston and hearing her thoughts about Attollo!


4. Securing a partnership with breast cancer charity Coppafeel - we'll be featuring their labels in all of our products from our launch, reminding all our customers of the signs of breast cancer! 



5. Attending the UK Lingerie Awards and aspiring to be as great as the amazing award winning brands! 


6. Being given 6 months free tenancy in our first office, with the Shard for a view! Attollo's first every HQ!


7. Meeting both Anita La Roy, Monmouth Coffee founder and Chrissie Rucker, The White Company founder and being offered an exciting potential future collaboration! 


8. Building our customer waiting list to 160 women - all as eager for Attollo as we are! 


9. After 6 months of trying to rebrand, finally deciding on a new logo for Attollo!


And without a doubt, the most memorable day of our last year was in early Spring….

10.  The day we held our first knickers and bra samples!That was the day that it all came together; our colour palette, our satin print that we'd had designed and our fabric choices - 5 months of work with our amazing designer suddenly visible in physical form!



Our birthday last year seems a lifetime ago now....


We wouldn't have been able to tackle the last year, working full-time on Attollo without the help of a few incredible individuals who work with us regularly, who are at the other end of an email, day or night, whenever we have a new crisis that we're not sure how to tackle! They have taught us all that we know today and we're incredibly blessed and fortunate to be able to learn from them and soak up their experience from each of their amazing careers. 

Our friends and family, you all keep us going! On the days where we can't see or think straight you give us perspective, you make us laugh and smile when we're stressed and tired, and you make us realise what we're working towards! We owe the biggest thank you to you all for doing everything that you do and have done for us up to this point! 

We want to dedicate today to you all – to everyone that follows what we’re up to, who believes in Attollo and has been spurring us on over the last 2 years – to you all, thank you, we are incredibly grateful and can’t wait to share the future of Attollo with you!

Here's to the next year.....let's see what it will have in store for us!

Love A&F x
