She created the designs herself and now has a huge team working alongside her from her headquarters in Bolton.
Arianna said previously: "We are now an eight figure annual turnover brand, which is honestly wild when you bring it all the way back to starting with less than £3,000 in my dad's living room.
"We've come such a long way, and I've learnt so many lessons.
"I can't even believe it myself to be honest. Sometimes I sit there and look at the sales on the website and can't believe that genuinely it's mine."

US Open star, 30, reveals she charges men $1000 to DATE her just months after starting ‘spicy' OnlyFans
TENNIS star Sachia Vickery has revealed that she charges men $1,000 to go on a date with her. Vickery, 30, is attempting to qualify for the US Open. 7 Sachia Vickery launched an OnlyFans account earlier this year Credit: Instagram / @sachiavick 7 Vickery, 30, has been raking it in on the content platform Credit: Instagram / @sachiavick 7 The American peaked at No73 in the world in 2018 Credit: Getty Off the court she is raking it in, having launched an OnlyFans account earlier this year. Vickery has now revealed that she requires a payment to date, having grown tired of men wasting her time. The American wrote on Instagram this week: "I no longer date for free due to the behavior of men I now require a pre-date deposit send me 1,000 and we can make it happen my cashapp is $Sachiavick." Prior to US Open qualifying this week, Vickery had not played since February due to injury. In that time, her OnlyFans account, which she describes as containing "the content too spicy for Instagram", has gone from strength to strength. On her endeavour, Vickery added on Instagram: 'I'm very open-minded and I don't care what people think of me … it's also the easiest money I've ever made and I enjoy doing it. "I will never talk s*** about girls on OnlyFans ever again for the rest of my life. "Because the amount I made on there in my first two days, I am overwhelmed. I am just shook really." 7 Vickery has admitted that she charges men to go on dates with her Credit: Instagram / @sachiavick 7 The tennis ace has opened up on her lucrative side hustle Credit: Instagram / @sachiavick 7 Vickery has gone form strength to strength on OnlyFans Credit: Instagram / @sachiavick Vickery is not the only tennis player on OnlyFans. Nick Kyrgios partnered up with the content site in 2023, while self proclaimed "sexiest professional tennis player" Alexandre Muller has an account and has even worn the OnlyFans logo on his kit. Brit tennis star lets off blood curdling screech at US Open Arina Rodionova launched an account in January after splitting with her husband. Speaking on Black Spin Global, Vickery said: "I've always pushed boundaries. I've always been outspoken about racial hate I get online, bodyshaming. I'm very open about a lot of stuff. "I'm still playing tennis, my career is still going but I also want to do things outside of tennis. I'm starting to explore more opportunities on social media. "Obviously there are levels to OnlyFans, you have athletes like Nick [Kyrgios] and Alex [Muller] who are going to be posting tennis content for the most part and then you have the other complete extreme, which I'm not. I'm in that middle gap. 'NEGATIVE FEEDBACK' "I set it up in January and it just took off. Being a tennis player definitely helped my marketing. I'm at a stage where I don't do the absolute most on there but I'm comfortable as I need to be. I'm doing really well. "Obviously, I'm going to get some negative feedback but that's just normal. Whatever you do in life there's always going to be some criticism. If I was doing nothing I'd be getting criticism, so I might as well get on the platform and make money while I'm at it." Vickery, who peaked at world No73 in 2018, is now down at No559 due to her injury lay-off. The Florida-born star entered US Open qualifying using a protected ranking and returned to action following six months out by beating Anastasiya Soboleva on Tuesday. Vickery will be back in action later today as she faces No19 seed in qualifying Ella Seidel in round two. Should she beat Seidel, Vickery will take on either Zhang Shuai or Darja Vidmanova for a place in the US Open main draw.

How Bertie Ahern stepped in as U2 demand ushered in law change to allow two Slane gigs after national fury
ALL-POWERFUL U2 convinced the Irish government to change the laws to allow them to play two Slane concerts in a week. Gig organisers believed they could sell out TWENTY times such was the demand to see the rockers in 2001, but planning laws made more than one gig all but impossible. 6 U2 demand convinced the former Taoiseach to change laws to allow another performance in the same week Credit: Times Newspapers Ltd 6 The gig at Slane Castle was a major sell-out, with tickets for the second show snapped up in less than two hours Credit: PA:Press Association 6 Lord Henry Mount Charles' son revealed how Bertie stepped in and solved the issue Credit: Crispin Rodwell - The Sun Dublin But when the first concert on August 24 sold out in 45 minutes, triggering a national fury, Taoiseach Bertie Ahern decided to make Slane 2 happen. Bertie told the Irish Sun: 'You could see the momentum building around it. I mean the law was the law, and you couldn't have the concert, and that was it. 'I think it was the late PJ Mara, a personal friend of (U2 manager) Paul McGuinness, who said, 'Listen, this would be a pity to see this go'. 'But it did require us to change the system. So I think that's how it came around to my desk, and we acted on it. I think it took a bit of maneuvering just to get it right.' Alex Conyngham, whose dad Lord Henry Mount Charles hosted the gig, told us: 'Bertie stepped in to help get it done. So that was a good Irish solution to a problem.' Ticketing chief Tommy Higgins told the final episode of the Fields Of Dreams podcast that demand for the gigs was unprecedented. He said: 'I remember the tickets going on sale on a Saturday morning out of HMV and around the country. 'But you knew at the at the start I probably could have sold 600,000 tickets that day the demand that was there. And you would have sold Slane out with the people coming from America alone.' From the outset in 1981, the gigs at Slane Castle, in Co Meath, were always one-day affairs. In 1984 they were almost finished for good when thousands rioted in the streets before the Bob Dylan concerts. Dave Browne from iconic Irish band Picturehouse talks about Sunburst's success Promoters and Lord Henry fought to secure its future, and in 1986 Mountcharles wrote to locals promising Slane would be one gig a year. In 2000, despite local opposition, Meath County Council granted permission for one gig a year in 2000, 2001 and 2002, strictly on a Saturday in either May, June, July or August. FAST-TRACKED LEGISLATION After U2 sold out rapidly in March 2001, the clamour grew for a second gig, which would have to take place in September. New legislation was fast-tracked in April 2001 removing the need for planning permission or any right to appeal by An Bord Pleanala. Bertie said: 'Having looked at the legal complexities at the time with the Attorney General and the departments, the only way around was for me to front up a change to the procedures, and of course, like everything in life, there were those who were for it and against it. 'Not that they were against U2. But they saw this as a precedent that could be used, and they said it was jumping the planning laws.' SOLD-OUT SHOW Tickets for Slane 2 on September 1 sold out in 94 minutes, and Ahern was a guest of the band. It was the same day Ireland beat the Netherlands 1-0, which put them on the road to World Cup 2002. Alex said: 'We showed the game during the gig because obviously it would have been unpatriotic not to. 'So anyway it went up on the big screen and I was chatting to the guys who were running the bars, and they were a bit concerned because the beer sales were down because they're watching the match. 'And then, of course, Ireland scored and 80,000 pints went up in the air and the beer sales just went through the roof.' As for the gigs themselves, 160,000 people were there to witness two events for the ages. 'SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE' Slane boss Alex said: 'I get goosebumps thinking about the amazing moments, when you're in the middle of the song and the band just suddenly become overwhelmed by how with them the crowd is, and they actually go quiet and the crowd do the singing and they just take that in. 'And if you're part of that and you're singing your lungs out at the Castle and you're seeing a sea of people in unison enjoying that moment, it is a spiritual experience. 'You only get a few of those really magic moments in a gig. But when they happen they're pretty mind-blowing.' The final episode of the series also hears from musicians on the drugs, booze and rock 'n' roll circuit of the Seventies onwards. It also recalls the special place Lillie's Bordello held in the hearts of local and overseas acts. The Dublin venue hosted stars including Bruce Sprinsgteen, Mick Jagger and actress Julia Roberts over the years, while a table was permanently reserved just for Bono in case he was in town. The VIP bar saw first Paul Harrington and then Dave Browne from Picturehouse on piano, charged with entertaining the entertainers. Some nights were weirder than others. 'BIZARRE' MOMENT Harrington remembered: 'Prince was in there for a little time. Nobody else allowed in. And I think it was a girlfriend. And a minder. And there was me. 'I had two of my brothers in beside me at the piano and a friend of ours, who was over from Canada. So I just said to whoever it was, 'Look, they're here, they're guests of mine'.' But the Purple Rain singer wanted them to leave. Eurovision winner Harrington added: 'I said, 'Well then, we'll all go together, and let Prince sit on his own'. Anyway, we all stayed. 'It was bizarre. He was looking for a banana split. So they had to send out for this to get made up. Show business! 'About three hours later, I'm still playing, trying to entertain him, sweating bullets, saying, 'What am I going to sing next?' 'But he was very appreciative. That was the type of place it was.' TV STARS AT VENUE Some of the ex-RTE TV football panel were also regulars. He said: 'People like Johnny Giles and Liam Brady and all doing party pieces, it was just pretty wonderful. 'Giles would be up singing Don't Cry For Me Argentina. Liam Brady's party piece was Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town.' As for Eamon Dunphy? Harrington explained: 'He's a good guy and he would sing, but he would take over a bit. My job was to intervene if somebody became annoying to everyone else. 'I remember funny moments like Dunphy swanning in and Karen Millen, the fashion designer, was sitting with gorgeous champagne, and he grabbed the bottle out of the bucket, and then there was water and ice splashing everywhere. He was doing that as a prank and a gag. And he bought a new one.'
