I think we're all a little guilty of participating in some way in the big London postcode war! If you live North, the thought of moving South sends shivers down your spin, if you live East going West is super un-cool, and so on!! So when I stumbled over this brand I simply had to track down one of the founders to find out more about her witty idea to design postcode bangles, for the likes of us who are very proud of where we live!
What do you do and why
do you love your job?
I can proudly say, that I am Co-founder of the
luxury Jewellery brand Whistle & Bango along with my colleagues Rosie and Ashley. Shamelessly, the best part for me
personally is seeing something go from a casual mention; supported by a lot of
optimism, into a tangible vision and brand.
Why did you decide to
focus on postcodes?
'Do something you love and you will never work a day
in your life.' London in this case, is the love. I’m glad that many people feel
the same way and share our passion, allowing our brand to grow in an
instinctive way. We have a ‘vote for your own postcode’ page, on which
Londoners can choose which postcode will come out next. http://www.whistleandbango.com/vote-for-your-postcode.html It’s
a conversation.
How would you describe
your style?
My personal style could potentially be described as classic.
I would definitely go for quality items over quantity.
Which is you favourite
postcode to shop in and why?
This changes all the time as it depends what
mood I am in as to which postcode I would like to spend time in. The most
recent postcode I shopped in was SW3.
What is your fav
postcode for eating in?
This would have to be W1, purely because of the
variety and the atmosphere going on here.
Five items you can't
live without?
Not counting The SW11 Whistle & Bango bangle; -
Shockingly: iPhone is number one. Laptop. Photoshop. All saints black
skinny jeans. Mulberry black boho handbag which I am wearing in the photo.
When you buy a Whistle
& Bango bangle, a percentage of the sale will go to Mother of Peace UK, who
work passionately to create communities for the orphans of Zimbabwe.
