Etoile Collective Launched With No Customers. Today It Turns Over 5 Million Dollars - a podcast by Mamamia Podcasts

Michelle Hu had just finished University and was about to go on a big summer holiday to South America. 


Then she broke her ankle. 


Suddenly Michelle was bedridden with three months off. As someone who had always wanted to start a business, Michelle used this time to launch Etoile Collective, A feel-good brand delivering thoughtful and functional beauty solutions. 


Michelle's first order was just 30 acrylic makeup organisers. She made an Instagram, a website and over the course of a month she sold out. 


Six years on and Etoile Collective is a seven-figure business.


Even Michelle herself never thought this would be possible, so how did she do it? And how has organic and real content contributed to the brand's success?
