Meet this month’s guest brand

Joining us for our first episode is none other than Missoma Founder and Creative Director Marisa Hordern!

Collecting gems as a young girl, it wasn’t until a kitchen table chat with her mother and sister that Marisa Hordern felt compelled to quit the corporate world and follow her passion by starting jewellery brand Missoma.

One of the first to harness the power of social media, Hordern also pioneered the first influencer-jewellery collaboration. Hordern continues to nurture a culture of creativity, confidence, and collaboration.

Founded in 2007, Missoma now ships to over 200 countries worldwide. Missoma was ranked fourth and sixth fastest-growing UK SME in the Sunday Times’ Fast Track 100 2018 and 2019 respectively. Hordern won the Entrepreneur Award at the 2019 Barclaycard Everywoman in Retail Awards for her future-facing leadership, with Missoma also ranked no.25 in JP Morgan’s 2022 Top 200 Female Powered Businesses category. Missoma was honoured to be awarded a 2022 Queen’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade having grown it’s International sales to 55% of its business.
