This is a hands-on role within a growing independent luxury brand, suited to someone with strong creative instinct, excellent taste, and solid technical ability.
The brand is rooted in a modern bohemian aesthetic with a London, rock-and-roll edge, built through vintage references, global influences, and rich surface detail.
