In an interview with Vogue, she said "my first [child birth] was a breeze—I was working until about six months in, shooting lingerie campaigns, flying to promote a movie I'd just shot [for] the Toronto International Film Festival and then onto Dubai for a TV commercial.

She was inspired by the scents of dark, mysterious hotels and late-night meals and cocktails after living in Paris for a year, as well as being on a yacht in the Mediterranean, between the Amalfi Coast, Italy and the South of France.

She decided to create this brand after visiting Bali and seeing the state of the beaches after people had taken advantage of their environment, to raise awareness of this issue.
