TRAINEE EMBOSSER – 4 days a week

Main Duties

Anya Hindmarch founded her business in London in 1987 and it has since grown into a global brand. Today, it is as known for its luxury, organisation-obsessed accessories as it is for its groundbreaking work in sustainability and its playful experiential retail concepts. Creativity, modern craftsmanship and personalisation sit at the heart of everything Anya Hindmarch does.

In Anya’s words, Bespoke is about ‘having your name on something, rather than mine’. At the Bespoke store in the heart of the Village, customers can weave their stories into the unique precious pieces, by having drawings or messages in their own handwriting embossed by in-store craftspeople. From adding initials to a weekend bag to an embroidered monogram on a clutch, countless pieces can be personalised. This is rooted in an ongoing commitment to reconnect the craftsman and the customer, preserving memories to create heirlooms that will be passed through generations.

We are currently looking for a trainee embosser to join our friendly Bespoke team; full training will be given
