Get to know the Lola James Harper founder.
What was the inspiration behind starting your brand?
In a world where we are more and more informed and aware of what’s really going on around us, where we feel more in control because of all the digital tools, I feel that we need more and more poetry, art and to keep some room for dreams. Scents, songs, photography and movies are for me the best tools to make us dream again, imagine again, to be inspired instead of being informed.
