It's a conundrum we've all faced one time too many. You stumble upon your new favorite online boutique that has the gosh darn cutest clothes for unbeatable prices and, all of a sudden, your shopping bag is filled to the hypothetical brim.

So, they left behind their Type A jobs as a lawyer and scientist, respectively, to create ANTHOM, an international e-shop with unique, fashionable investment-worthy pieces that are still relatively affordable!
