Imagine a day in London curated just for you.

A bespoke journey through the city, tailored to the highest level of personalisation and exclusivity, that reveals true luxury experiences and introduces you to some of the best international brands.

My aim when I curate a Bespoke Day is that they are truly memorable and unique to each client. Every element of the day will be considered and organised so that you can relax and focus on enjoying all that London has to offer.

I want you to look back on the day as though you stepped through a secret door into one of the greatest cities in the world, where you tasted the finest experiences London has to offer and departed with a heart of memories and timeless investments pieces.

  • In advance of your trip to London, I will liaise with you to discuss favourite brands, your personal tastes and special upcoming occasions. I will then activate my extensive industry connections to gain unparalleled access to the most prestigious ateliers.

  • I will work with stores to accommodate your schedule, and will prepare an edited selection of apparel to meet your needs.

    Whether you want ready-to-wear, couture, bespoke tailoring, or all of the above, my 25+ years of dressing members of the royal family and celebrities has granted me an unparalleled black book of brands and craftspeople who love to go the extra mile.

    Purchases can be delivered to your hotel for you to enjoy, or, couriered internationally to await your return home.

  • Lunch will be arranged at a discrete members club or restaurant, selected for its exclusive ambience, exquisite dining, and the friendliness and warmth of its staff - an introduction to somewhere you may wish to return to on your next trip.

  • Christina is someone I both like and trust implicitly. At Burberry everyone loved her and she was an inspirational leader. She is determined, confident, resilient and very hardworking. This is balanced by an openness to new ideas and a completely genuine focus and affection for her team. She has high EQ and is someone who is demonstrably trustworthy and despite working with some extraordinary names, she is the epitome of discretion. She is a strong, principled woman with great values.

  • Having known and worked alongside Chrissie for over a decade, I’ve come to appreciate the extraordinary way she manages to combine opposites: being a visionary, yet eminently practical; having dogged determination to complete a task, but exercising a gentle touch with those she works alongside; leading from the front, but not seeking the spotlight; hugely respected by high flyers, but dealing equal handedly with all people; having a genuine passion for fashion, but not being defined by it … who’d not want to work with Chrissie!
