What do you do when you realise the career you’ve worked your whole life for… isn’t your dream?

For Hanushka Toni, the answer was simple: leave law and build a luxury resale empire instead.

This episode of The Silly Little Girls Club is a true movie script moment—from being a high-flying solicitor to launching Sellier London, one of the most coveted pre-loved luxury retailers in the world. What started as a small boutique in Knightsbridge is now an industry-changing global business that sells Hermès Birkins, Chanel classics, and the world’s most sought-after designer bags.

But it wasn’t all glossy handbags and champagne. Hanushka shares the real, unfiltered truth about entrepreneurship—being underestimated, getting doors slammed in her face, and even surviving a store burglary.

💼 How she built an online luxury empire during lockdown

👜 The truth about Hermès "bag culture" and why people pay more for resale

In this episode of The Silly Little Girls Club, Samantha Cusick sits down with Alanna Kit, neuroscientist, entrepreneur, and founder of ARK—London’s cutting-edge wellness sanctuary that merges science, spirituality, and ritual into one transformational space.

From running psychedelic retreats to building a spa that caters to the nervous systems of bankers, Alanna’s journey is as mind-blowing as it is inspiring.
