Dear Kirsty,
Thought you might be interested to learn about my newly launched, ethical accessories co. NV London Calcutta, recently shortlisted for the EFF's Innovation Award.
Please visit our site www.NVLondonCalcutta.com to view the whole Collection & learn more about the people and processes behind the label.
I was wondering if you might be interested in discussing a potential collaboration with me? I have an idea for a project involving my Ayesha Make-Up Purses... let me know if it sounds of interest and we can discuss!
We will be showing at Pure, Stand L16 in the Gallery this August if you'd like to come along, say hello and see our bags 1st hand.
Best wishes,
Naomi
