Sophie Rieder is a Switzerland-based kiwi, originally from Tekapo. She happens to be the sister of our rad shop manager Margot and we were lucky enough to have the opportunity to style her, get some snaps and ask her a few questions. We started by asking her — How did Bluemly Start?
I met a lady on a beach selling bracelets in the Canary Islands and thought, cool! that looks like a bit of me. Except I hate the beach, so I reside in Switzerland.

Where could we find you when you're not making hoops?
Wandering, I love to go for walks, otherwise having a flat white or spritz, mostly having a spritz. Also, I call home most mornings.
