March has been a busy and inspiring month, filled with exciting events, memorable celebrations, product launches, and even a few nostalgic moments. It’s been a time for both reflection and momentum, appreciating how far we’ve come while embracing the opportunities ahead. I’m excited to share some of our highlights with you and a little peek at what’s coming next.
Celebrating 14 Years of Victoria Eggs Ltd.
March 21st marked a major milestone, our 14th anniversary! It was a special moment to reflect on everything we’ve achieved over the years and to acknowledge the amazing support we’ve received along the way. Taking time to pause and celebrate these chapters often brings fresh ideas, and this year was no different. I’m so grateful for every part of this journey, and to everyone who has been a part of it.
Introducing the Quintessentially London Collection
After two years in the making, our brand-new Quintessentially London Collection is finally here!
Here is the first London mug I ever designed, alongside my most recent. This city is full of endless inspiration for me!
This range is something I’m incredibly proud of, and the whole team is thrilled to see the designs come to life. The products will be hitting stores at the end of this month, and I can’t wait to share photos with you soon.
Celebrating British Craftsmanship
This month, I had the opportunity to visit the workshop where our enamel pin badges and keyrings are made. Watching the entire process unfold; from intricate design work to the final product was a powerful reminder of the incredible craftsmanship and dedication that goes into each piece.
I even had a go at crafting one of our Telephone Box keyrings myself - let’s just say it’s much harder than it looks! I was also delighted to see that every offcut from the process is collected, and sent back to be melted down to create more pin badges and keyrings - nothing is wasted. Another example of our commitment to sustainability in practice.
Inspiring Conversations at ACE
We were delighted to attend the Association of Cultural Enterprises (ACE) event in Liverpool. It was a fantastic chance to connect with fellow creatives, showcase our latest collections, and explore exciting new projects. The energy and creativity of the event were contagious—sparking lots of ideas we can’t wait to develop further.
A Month of Memorable Exhibitions
March was packed with inspiring cultural experiences. From the Infinity Saga live orchestra to a magical Candlelight string quartet performance of Bridgerton music at Southwark Cathedral, and a powerful rendition of Much Ado About Nothing, each moment was unforgettable.
I was especially moved by Bees: A Story of Survival, a beautiful immersive exhibition that explored the vital role of bees in our ecosystem. Having created a design for the Royal Albert Hall last year, to showcase their hives and tell the story of the bees that live there, this was especially pertinent.
Books, Inspiration, and New Ideas
I discovered a beautiful new book about the legacy of one of the world’s most beloved authors, Jane Austen, at the ACE exhibition, and it’s been a lovely reminder of the power of literature to inspire design. It’s already sparked a few ideas that I’m looking forward to exploring, so watch this space for what’s to come!
Back to Where It All Began
In a lovely, full-circle moment, I took a nostalgic trip to Birmingham with my three best friends—including Nicole, who works with us here at Victoria Eggs. We graduated from university 20 years ago, and it was such a joy to walk the halls of the stunning Margaret Street building where we studied Fine Art. The architecture and creative energy there gave us the space to dream big, and fuelled my passion for design, and I’m forever grateful for those years.
Wishing you a fantastic month ahead.
With love,
