One of my favourite things about building Nudie Jewellery is the people I meet along the way.
Sometimes those conversations last five minutes. Sometimes they turn into something much bigger.
I first met Anna at Autumn Fair in 2025.
At the time, Nudie Jewellery was still finding its feet and Anna's beautiful new venture, Cosy Corners in Lymington, Hampshire, was still just an idea taking shape.
Like many conversations at trade shows, we chatted about products, business and the exciting challenge of bringing a new idea to life.
Then we both carried on with our day.
Or so I thought.
A Brand That Stayed on Her Mind
Fast forward a few months and I spotted a familiar face walking towards the stand at Spring Fair.
Anna had come back.
Not only had she continued building her vision for Cosy Corners, but she told me something every founder secretly dreams of hearing.
She couldn't get Nudie Jewellery out of her head.
The brand, the story and the jewellery had stayed with her long after Autumn Fair had ended.
As a founder, that's a pretty special moment.
In a world where we're all competing for attention, knowing something you've built has genuinely resonated with someone never gets old.
Two Businesses Growing Together
What makes this story particularly lovely is that neither of us had fully opened our doors when we first met.
We were both in that exciting, slightly terrifying stage where everything exists as sketches, plans, ideas and determination.
Since then, both businesses have grown.
Nudie has expanded into stockists across the UK, attended events around the country and continued building a community around skin-first jewellery.
Meanwhile, Anna has been working hard to bring Cosy Corners to life.
And now, her beautiful new store has officially opened in Lymington.
Nudie Arrives on the South Coast
We're incredibly proud to announce that Nudie Jewellery is now stocked at Cosy Corners.
The shop is a wonderful reflection of Anna herself, thoughtful, welcoming and filled with carefully chosen products from independent brands.
It's exactly the kind of place where we love our jewellery to live.
For customers in Hampshire and across the South Coast, it also means there's now another opportunity to see, try on and experience Nudie Jewellery in person.
Supporting Independent Businesses
Stories like this are a reminder of why independent retail matters.
Behind every shop, every brand and every display is a real person taking a chance on an idea.
Sometimes those ideas meet at a trade show. Sometimes they reconnect months later. And sometimes they end up growing together.
Congratulations Anna on opening Cosy Corners.
Thank you for believing in Nudie from the very beginning.
If you're local to Lymington, we'd love you to stop by, say hello and share your photos if you spot Nudie on the shelves.
Love,
