Want a bag like no other? These three Berkshire women can help
Claire Greenwood
Founder, GVG Accessories
“I have loved accessories from a young age. I had a bag for every occasion and my family called me ‘the bag lady’,” says Claire Greenwood, Founder of GVG Accessories in Eton.
Claire’s handbag obsession continued as she grew up, and after graduating from Manchester Metropolitan University with a degree in Retail Marketing and an MSc in Fashion Buying, she joined Primark’s head office in Reading as a Trainee Buyer.
“I lived in Reading for five years and then moved to Eton 12 months ago,” she says. “I’m lucky to live in such a beautiful area. Eton has a wonderful village community, from the independent shops to the pubs and restaurants. Everyone chats to each other and all the small businesses support each other.”
Claire went on to become an International Assistant Buyer at Primark and travelled the world, including the Far East and India, to develop new ranges for the UK and European stores. But in 2019, she decided to start her own brand.
