SewLomax: from kitchen table startup to department store – video

SewLomax produces personalised embroidered bags.

Emma Lomax was inspired by her mother to launch a business designing personalised embroidered bags. Lomax, who previously worked as a textiles teacher, started off working from her kitchen to keep costs down and is now selling her product with several large retailers. She uses Xero to keep on top of her finances, in particular to manage her invoices, and for sending orders across to India.

Content on this page is paid for and produced to a brief agreed with Xero, sponsor of the business essentials hub.
