Episode One: Mary Portas

Episode One: Mary Portas

March 11, 2024

 

This episode, Patrick sits down to chat with the incomparable Mary Portas OBE. Businesswoman, broadcaster, author, activist and a familiar face on our television screens, Mary has made her name as an icon of retail. And deservedly so.

During this conversation from her rather lovely living room (which matches her glasses, naturally), Mary shares the shades that tell her life story. From childhood teacups to her flame-red bob and even cows, some of her inspirations are more surprising than others but all of them come with a wonderful story.  

So, without further ado, enjoy Patrick and Mary’s colourful conversation in this episode of The Chromologist.

From sunny Hound Lemon to rich Cardamom, discover each of the colours Mary chose below...

As an extra special touch, Mary has compiled a playlist of songs on Spotify that speak to times in her life too. To give it a listen, simply click here — once you’re finished catching up on The Chromologist of course.
