Welcome to episode 14 of The Founders Blueprint. In this episode, James sits down with Paul and Joe Murphy, the duo behind the popular menswear brand Lanka Clothing. So inspired by their cherished memories and deep admiration for Sri Lanka, they decided to name their designer label after the beautiful island nation. Paul and Joe take us on a journey through their entrepreneurial adventure, starting out in their parents' garage.

They share candid stories of investing thousands in samples, only to receive items that were far from their original designs. Through persistence and a commitment to quality, they have refined their suppliers and transformed Lanka Clothing into a widely recognised brand, both regionally and nationally. Tune in to hear about their early struggles, the importance of making mistakes, and their strategic approach to organic growth and advertising.

Discover how they balance affordability with high quality, and gain insights into their upcoming collections, including coats, trainers, sliders, and more. Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur or a fashion enthusiast, this episode is packed with inspiration and practical advice on launching your own clothing brand. "Don’t procrastinate, just get started."
