4 years of Cotswold Fox! Our journey so far
How time flies when you're having fun! 4 years ago we made our first Cotswold Fox sale on Instagram and I would've never predicted being where we are today.
I was 23 years old and at university when I launched Cotswold Fox. By ‘launched’ I mean I had £450 in my bank account to spend, googled how to do everything and created my first logo on Microsoft Word (would not recommend).

4 years later it’s my full-time job, we have a catalogue of over 50 products and we have just shot our Spring Summer Campaign in Marrakech with a team of 6, and we had the most incredible time!
The idea to start my own business was sparked when my mother started making Hi-Viz safety gear for equestrians in 2019 and selling it online. Watching her set this up showed me that even my technologically challenged mother (sorry) can set up a revenue-driving business with her sewing machine bought from Amazon, and her ancient computer!
I paired this with a university assignment I was working on at the time. We were asked to put together a full business plan for a start-up, I chose a clothing brand and the rest is history!
In 4 years we have gone from packing orders in the middle of lockdown at my parents kitchen table, to it being my full-time job with a close-knit team of staff. What a crazy journey so far!
We're just about to launch our full SS25 collection, which we shot in the studio yesterday, so keep an eye out for that!
As always, I couldn't be more grateful to you all for believing in the brand.
Lots of love,
Jemima x
