Cost: FREE! Eloise Monaghan from Honey Birdette Founder and owner of Honey Birdette ‘Sensuality Boutiques’ – www.honeybirdette.com.au Eloise is the founder and co-owner of Honey Birdette “sensuality boutiques”, up-market adult stores for women. Honey Birdette was founded in 2006 by friends Eloise and Janelle. The pair met while both working in the United Kingdom and discovered they had a mutual interest in the lingerie available in European high streets. It wasn’t until Monaghan, had returned to Australia and went shopping for a friend’s hen’s night that the idea for Honey Birdette began to grow. Tired of not being able to find provocative lingerie and luxury bedroom toys they set out to inject a sense of sensuality into the Australian bedroom. With their lingerie inspired packaging and suggestively named products, Honey Birdette boutiques are flirty, playful and unapologetically sensual. What began as a one off boutique in West End has become a multi-store chain for two Brisbane businesswomen. With 3 stores in Brisbane, Honey Birdette is set to open two more stores later this year as part of a plan to grow the business’s nationally. Eloise is also working on Honey Birdette’s own lingerie label that will hit the shelves this month. Far from having a background in the adult industry, Eloise started in marketing, and made the jump to entrepreneur when she realised how far the Australian market was lagging behind the UK and how good the opportunity was to start her own store. A well known Brisbane entrepreneur, Eloise is a stand out example of someone who has taken a good idea and adapted it to a new market, persevering and putting in the hard work to make it a success. * Register Free at http://www.thehive.org.au & Become a Fan of The Hive Brisbane on Facebook * See you there!
