Rooted in Friendship: C. Atherley x The Hambledon

At C. Atherley, we have always believed in growing slowly, thoughtfully, and with good people by our side. Not long after we launched, The Hambledon in Winchester became our first stockist. Cath and Victoria (the owner) go back a long way, so it was a wonderful celebration to start working together again. The store is housed in the most beautiful townhouse in the centre of Winchester and is consistently voted one of the best independent retail shops in the UK.

When they ran a Botanical Month in February, we were thrilled to share something special in celebration – a limited run of tote bags featuring an illustration of their shop front, complete with our signature geraniums clambering up their storefront.

It’s a little celebration of place, of friendship, and of our shared love of surprising our customers.

We love working closely with all our wonderful stockists, finding ways to make your purchases feel that little bit more personal. Whether it’s a surprise treat, a beautifully wrapped gift, or something bespoke like this – keep an eye out for more small surprises blooming soon.
