Natthakur at The W Collection

Natalie Thakur is a contemporary fine leather designer based in London with a bespoke background including Ghost and Mulberry. Her famous leather grocery bag was voted the number 1 best gift in The Independent, with current collections in Liberty and The V&A.




Using the highest quality leathers which are ethically sourced, she designs and currently hand crafts an array of witty gifts and accessories, from purses and wallets through to bags.



We have selected a collection of her "Coin" purses to coincide with our Rachel Eardley exhibition, limited pieces will be available here in The W Collection until 22nd August when the exhibition finishes.

    



Beautifully made in pressed leather they are a perfect size for cards and cash with beautiful jewel coloured suede linings. They make a really original gift or well earned treat at £36 and go perfectly with Rachel's Jewellery.

Thanks to everyone who came to the Preview Evening! What a fantastic launch to our beautiful exhibition!


Chocolate coins, although not legal currency, can definitely be used as a bribe... ;)

Some of Rachel's artwork feature the iconic Tunnock's teacake, so we had to have some in for the opening!

Tunnocks n' peas!

 


lovely hand printed cards







Printed Hankies, featuring coin motifs and Rachels's illustrations, a great gift idea!
