Inspiration

"Taylor Yates is a brand very personal to me and my daughter, Ellen.
I grew up in the North of England, and thought I was destined to work for other people, but life took me from working for a large manufacturing company to running a family business.
My Nana, Alice Wells, definitely showed me another way. She started in service in Yorkshire in the 1920’s but went on to run 2 or 3 businesses from home. We spent every summer there as children and sometimes I accompanied her on buying trips. She was tenacious and fiercely independent and I've hopefully inherited some of her hard working northern grit.
It takes determination, resilience and hard work to run any business today and I owe a lot to the strong Lancashire women who guided me and gave me the freedom to choose. Our bags are fittingly named after those great women in my family".
