About our founder, Natalie.

  • She has a degree in BA Accessories and Business at Cordwainers College (London College of Fashion)

  • Her graduate roles saw her head up the design team at the handbag company Dollargrand, where she worked for two years.

  • Natalie spent the next four years designing and releasing her first collection under her name which began selling on Portobello Market and was later stocked in the high street retailers 'Topshop' and 'House of Frazer'.

  • Despite her success within this market, she still had her sights set on luxury retail. 

  • Her childhood was spent in Exmoor, North Devon.

  • Nature is a huge influence in Natalie's life, particularly the ocean in the shapes, the colors, the creatures, and the shells.

  • Her childhood was spent experimenting with her crafts, a passion that her parents loved and supported, particularly as her school record began to suffer.

  • She was later diagnosed with severe dyslexia. 

  • Natalie had a career change into property development in the late 2000s.

  • She spent this time traveling the world, finding influences, and exploring cultures, architecture, and historical places.

  • She took this time to research the best creatives in the field, finding manufacturers and suppliers that could aid the development of her designs.

  • Natalie found these creatives in Italy.

  • Her newest collection is a collaboration with the finest creatives from Florence, the range is manufactured in Italy and finished by Natalie herself in the UK.

  • All her designs have been made from the highest quality refined leather, aiding her to jump into luxury retail.
