Benjamin Liong Setiawan: What were some of the key steps that led you to where you are today?
Elizabeth Reid: In part, my intuition, and a strong personal needled me to start my own collection. As a busy fashion marketing executive traveling the globe, I couldn't find luxe, stylish, comfortable socks at an approachable price point; climbing the corporate ladder literally gave me blisters.
