Dear Janet,

Hope you will be interested to learn about my recently launched, ethical accessories co., NV London Calcutta, shortlisted, in our launch season, for the EFF's Innovation Award and voted as having one of the Top 10 Ethical accessories from the August's Pure Womenswear Exhibition at London's Olympia.

Please do visit our site www.NVLondonCalcutta.com where you can view the current Collection & learn more about the people and processes behind the label.

All our goods are designed in Britain, but produced in India, specifically West Bengal, using an IFAT registered manufacturer, locally sourced, natural materials, traditional production methods and environmentally friendly dyes etc.

Please let me know if you would like any further information.

If you'd like to be kept up to date with our happenings remotely, you can join our mailing list by sending us your email (we promise not to bore you with junk!) or become a fan of our Facebook page - NV London Calcutta which features sneak previews of product and behind the scenes news etc.
