Mint Velvet – FP&A Manager
About Mint Velvet
Mint Velvet (MV) began when Liz Houghton and Lisa Agar-Rea set out to create an unfailingly chic collection of contemporary, high-quality staples and elevated fits. Feeling frustrated by limited wardrobe options and subpar customer service, they fused relaxed comfort with glamorous yet wearable fashion.
As a collaborative creative team, we design with heart and soul, committed to becoming a more circular and responsible business—from fabric choices to sustainable practices. Our agile and growing business thrives on:
- Balance of growth and support
- High-performance culture
- Passion-driven environment
MV’s core values are rooted in three pillars: people, planet, and community.
Our Values
With Soul. Courage & Resilience. Passion & Drive. Entrepreneurial Spirit. Collaborative.
