YOUNG Beerwah entrepreneur, Sienna Grace, is taking the first steps towards her global fashion ambitions by securing eight prominent local retailers to showcase her unique earring designs.
The go-getting 13-year-old sells her products at businesses including Better Living in Montville, Amcal Pharmacy Beerwah and TBH hair salon at Beerwah as well as various markets.
Her passion for earrings began after developing an interest in sewing and creating her own clothes.
“I wanted to do something other than sewing because I was young, so I started making earrings using the internet as inspiration and selling them locally,” she said.
Seven weeks ago, her neighbour — also 13 years old — designed her website, bysiennagrace.com.au, which has already received more than 100 online orders from around the world.
Sienna said she enjoys the process of both designing and crafting her products, which include clay and kangaroo leather earrings, key chains, faux leather items and pens.
Her most popular item, and one of her personal favourites, is the frangipani earrings.
But her ambitions go beyond accessories — her ultimate goal is to become a world-famous fashion designer of teen friendly clothes.
