Show Notes

For this episode Ashley hosts a live panel at Café en Seine in Dublin with Mary Furtas, founder of Cult Naked, Alana Murrin, founder of Saint Studios, Carlotta Rodben, founder of Beyond Luxury Group, Jonathan Siboni, serial entrepreneur and luxury data expert, and Lynn Kelly, content creator and influencer.

Nobody in the room agreed on a single definition of luxury. That was the point.

Beyoncé has worn Cult Naked six times on her current tour. Mary built that without a PR budget, a label on her clothes, or a plan B.

One in four people feel lonely. Carlotta argues this is the most important stat in luxury right now.

Luxury is no longer about what you own. It is about how you live, how you feel, and who you share it with.
