Natalia Rafi relocated to Banks Mill just over 12-months ago, transitioning from a modest budget studio to a more spacious and comfortable venue that allows clients to witness the creation of their unique pieces of jewellery. Providing luxury products whilst remaining eco-conscious are the central elements of the Natalia Rafi brand.
The move to Banks Mill has presented a valuable opportunity for organic growth, eliminating the need for loans to cover rent, business charges and other charges associated with Highstreet shop fronts. Natalia Rafi expresses their appreciation for the support network available at Banks Mill - “We love the support network available at Banks Mill”. Natalia Rafi is thriving, “We have orders for bespoke engagement rings coming in thick and fast at the moment. We are also working on expanding our stock lines”.
Over the course of their first year at Banks Mill, Natalia Rafi actively engaged in members meetings, open studios and networking events, fostering meaningful relationships with fellow tenants. With a continuous focus on expansion, Natalia Rafi has invested in new equipment and the refurbishment of the studio to create a professional and aesthetically pleasing environment.
Natalia Rafi has blossomed, through investments in the development of the Natalia Rafi brand and marketing strategies. For example, the studio space has been effectively utilised as a captivating backdrop for photographs and videos that contribute to the growth of their audience.
In the months ahead, Natalia Rafi has ambitious plans for their website, market expansion, SEO strategies and investing in new tools and services. These initiatives aim to further enhance the brands presence and reach.
Recent accomplishments include a feature in the Derby Telegraph, participation in the make works video (provided by the museum of making) and an invitation to be featured on Radio Derby.
