Katrina Phillips
Who is she?
Not many people love their job as much as Katrina Phillips. The interiors guru who lives above her shop in Portobello Road lives and breathes her shop and who can blame her when it is such a treasure trove of varied and beautiful objects, from beautifully crafted silver cutlery to her very own atmospheric room sprays.
Katrina’s philosophy is to stock individual products that will last for generations while being ethically produced and traded. With over 30 years' experience in the fashion and interiors industry, Katrina is also available for bespoke interior design services.
Why buy now?
With organic essential oils and inspiration derived from fond memories of faraway places, Katrina Phillips' atmosphere spray (£20) is both cleansing and invigorating. With subtle notes of basil and grapefruit, this unique scent instantly calms and refreshes, but hurry – there are only 50 bottles of this limited edition spray.
