Live like a local: Notting Hill according to Beatrice von Tresckow


Beatrice von Tresckow is a classic British designer whose garments are influenced by her childhood in Afghanistan, Africa and India.
She has long-standing relationships with seamstresses in India and Shanghai who embroider many of her designs by hand, while her Portobello Road shop is a favourite with Notting Hill’s mature fashion crowd.

“I chose this location because I loved the quirky, friendly and artistic vibe that Portobello Road still offers.
“We have such an eclectic mix of visitors to our London shop, from actors and musicians to international travellers and bloggers, who are all a constant source of inspiration for new designs.”
