6. Ruby Moon sells really distinctive and great looking swimwear, do you work with other people on these or do you design yourself?

RubyMoon is a really collaborative business. We work with lots of different people who love what we do. Going forward we have had some wonderful prints given to us by Sarah Arnett, who is a wonderful, imaginative illustrator.

7. Could we expect and look forward to new lines next summer season 2015?

We are working on two new capsule collections called BEACHLUXE and SPORTLUXE. The latter is an exciting watersports and swimsuit line that is receiving a great response. All our materials are recycled and we are extending into beach accessories with another European partner which is truly exciting.We are having a lot of fun with making great products out of materials destined for landfill.

8. Please tell me what your life motto is...

Make a positive difference.

9. And lastly, how can our readers help other

women out there create a better life for

themselves?

If you are not part of the solution, you are part

of the problem. How we spend our money is one

of the only ways left we have of making real change.

You may feel despair at times, but small changes you

make will make a difference. Buy ethically, or

secondhand. And empower women through investing

in them as entrepreneurs, as we do through
