In Part 2 with Ellis Bland, we dig into the real story behind VÅGA – how it started, the risks, the mistakes, and the moments that defined the brand. We talk hustling at races, becoming a fabric-first brand, resisting hype culture, and why making bombproof kit for long days out matters. Ellis shares the full UTMB story with Tom Evans, the Red Bull collaboration, and the exclusive news that VAGA is now producing headwear for Red Bull athletes globally. There’s also honest chat about Brexit, international expansion, grassroots athlete support, and staying local while going global.
