Katie Lopes, founder of Stripe & Stare, shares how she overcame £1.5 million debt, a relationship breakdown, and her low self-confidence, to create the knicker brand that everyone is talking about.


Katie tells Connie Nam the devastating circumstances that pushed her to build a future for her children, how she learnt to trust her instincts, and the frustrating assumptions placed on female founders.


Plus, they discuss the surprising impact of the #MeToo movement on underwear sales, how Stripe & Stare are showing their genuine pledge to sustainability and what exiting their businesses might look like for Katie and Connie.
