I wonder if you might 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 recently named Future 100 Social Entrepreneur of the Year 2009.
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. We have some great galleries, showing the production of our hand spun silks, from cocoons and traditionally hand screened canvas etc which may be of interest.
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 or WS info. If you send me your email I will also keep you posted of our forthcoming 2010 new arrivals.
