ABOUT US
NATALIE DENNIS
About our founder, Natalie:
Natalie holds a degree in BA Accessories and Business from Cordwainers College, part of the London College of Fashion. Her early career saw her leading the design team at the handbag company Dollargrand for two years. Following this, she dedicated four years to designing and launching her first collection under her own name, which initially sold at Portobello Market before being stocked by high street retailers Topshop and House of Fraser. Despite her success, Natalie always aspired to enter the luxury retail market.
Natalie’s childhood in Exmoor, North Devon, deeply influenced her work, with nature, especially the ocean, shaping her designs through its colors, creatures, and shells. Her early years were spent exploring her passion for crafts, supported by her parents even as her school performance struggled due to severe dyslexia.
In the late 2000s, Natalie transitioned into property development, using this period to travel the world, absorbing influences from various cultures, architecture, and historical sites. This journey led her to Italy, where she connected with top creatives and manufacturers who would later collaborate on her designs. Her latest collection is a testament to this, created in partnership with the finest artisans from Florence, manufactured in Italy, and finished by Natalie in the UK. Each piece is crafted from the highest quality refined leather, marking her successful entry into the luxury retail market.
