Nette Rose

Owner: Meg MillerStart-up costs: ‘I buy my clothing from charity shops, and in 2015 I sold a lot of it at vintage markets around Cape Town to make “seed money”. I made R8500, which is what covered my costs for the first two months: my first batch of fabric, website and domains. Also, I met lots of models and photographers, who collaborated essentially for free in the start-up stage. I was at university at the time, so my parents covered my rent and living costs, which was a comfort.’Turnover: ‘I created something I was passionate about, and I’ve been earning a profit since the first month.’Website: www.netterose.com
