THE FOUNDER
Sandra was born in Germany. She is half German and half Vietnamese. In her childhood she splits her time between Germany and Vietnam. She spents much of her time outdoors with friends, playing in the forest, on farms and riding horses. Following school she was so lucky to be able to travel the world for one year and enjoyed observing different cultures, which broadened early her mind perspective on fashion with a natural eye.

Returning back she started a 3 year apprenticeship in a global Executive Search Consulting firm and then came to Louis Vuitton (LVMH Group) as an internship at the German marketing department. The department gave her the opportunity to develop great marketing projects for fashion, jewelry and watches, and to narrow down what she really wanted to do, which was work for an international house of tradition and high-quality products. She worked with brands such as Louis Vuitton, Prada, Kenzo and Givenchy. Her relationship with PRADA and MIU MIU dates back to when she was studying Fashion- / Designmangement in Düsseldorf. Sourrounded by a great Showroom Team – She has learned the whole world about shoes and was working with Key-Customers for the markets Germany and Benelux. In the beginning of 2007 she came to GIVENCHY and joined the international Givenchy Team in Paris, responsible for the Key-Customers in Germany and Austria. Her greatest achievement was becoming a mother in 2011. Now with some time on her hands, she finally managed to start THE GIFT GARDEN.
