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.

“We opened our shop on Portobello Road 15 years ago and have thoroughly enjoyed the Notting Hill lifestyle,” she says.

“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.”
