‘Our early ethos remains unchanged, and while we know many find the word ‘lovely’ overused, for us, it really is our purpose for being. We care to create lovely things, to govern ourselves in a way that is only ever lovely, and to make the lives of those people who discover us that little bit lovelier too. The notion of ever disappointing you keeps us awake at night. So rest assured that more than anything we believe that we are in this together’
