VENUS COW MISSION STATEMENT "Take care of our customers, take care of our employees and give back."

Venus Cow was created to give all women frustrated by the lack of affordable, ethical high quality staple clothing on the high street, a place to find their go to pieces like black leggings, the things we all wear everyday.

Our customers are at the heart of Team VC, #teamvc something set up when we began 3 years ago and decided, just like M&S did in the 50's and 60's, to reach out to the women who wore the PBL Perfect Black Leggings for real to help us spread the word about how great they actually are and who better to listen to? All to help Shirley's mission to save British textiles and manufacturing, support her passion for free coaching/mentoring and get  women all around the globe back in clothes they love.

Being a trusted brand is at the core of everything we do and why it is so important for us to share the stories of the women, our genuine customers, all different ages, shapes, sizes and lifestyles but with a common vision and goal; to make the world better.

In our brand ambassador profiles over the summer months we are rewarding some of the incredible, diverse women, our VC Angels, who have been kind enough to jump on board and post their selfies and style posts to help us promote, asking nothing in return, by featuring their personal stories of achievement, adversity and all round girl power. 

The first person to hit the hot seat and answer the our questions is Emma Rose Savage.
