Season 2 Episode Guide
2.2 About this episode
We're back for Season 2, and Fiona is joined by current and daughter of the legendary glove maker to the late Queen, Cornelia James. Genevieve James tells the thrilling tale of how her mother Cornelia had studied art and design in Vienna and arrived in England as a refugee in 1939, with a suitcase filled with fabric.
In 1947 the couturier Norman Hartnell asked her to make gloves to accessorise the Princess's going away outfit and in 1979 she became glovemaker 'by appointment' to Her Majesty the Queen. Three generations later, the family business is still making gloves by hand in Sussex, England.

Season 2 is in fully swing, and Fiona is joined today by twin founders, Rosie and Lily Fortescue, who have created Bag-d.

At by Fiona Wood we are known for sourcing and securing some of the rarest and most unique designer handbags, from collectors items, runway pieces to either brand new or limited and discontinued Hermès bags- so it goes without saying that protecting these treasures should be top priority.

2.4 About this episode
In this episode, Fiona is joined by Lena McCroary, the creative director, founder and designer of London based ready-to-wear brand Sanne.
Each item is made for the customer, so over production is not something that Sannne as a brand participate in. With a turn around time, equal to most deliveries from e-com platforms these days, the Sanne customer is quietly confident and as Lena puts it 'the leading woman in the movie about her own life.
