Carlos and I met through a friend in the late 90s and having travelled a lot I had ideas to buy and sell beautiful things – what? I wasn’t sure!
Following a trip to Rajasthan in 1999 we took a market stall on Cambridge market and sold original pashminas, antique silk saris, cushions and rugs. While Carlos sold at the market, I visited shops and sold direct to retailers, learning about the world of retail and in 2001 we took our first gift and accessory trade show stand, and when Selfridges placed an order, we knew we were doing something right.
