Their shops is a treasure trove of designer accessories, handbags and jewellery cherry picked from all over Europe. Their ethos is to showcase less well known brands and independent makers with an emphasis on craftsmanship and quality.

This is shown off best by the shop’s own collection of handbags handcrafted in Spain from the finest Italian leathers.
Anna is an award-winning artist too. She has produced a range of 100% fine wool scarves, with sections of her oil paintings printed onto them.  At £69 Art scarves come with a small card with the details of the painting and the artist making this a unique and stylish Christmas gift.
