I met with Henrietta
Henrietta Martindale has that effortless elegance we all admire. When she opened the door of her beautiful farmhouse in Suffolk, where she lives with her family and two dogs, I instantly felt the warmth she’s created around her.
Her style is all about soft, earthy tones and textures, inspired by the Suffolk seaside—calm, timeless, and inviting.
Ten years ago, after a long career in Mayfair, she started her own calligraphy studio. Since then, she’s worked with brands like Fortnum & Mason, Chanel and Cartier, as well as smaller businesses and private clients for life’s big moments.
In this episode, we chatted about her journey and the renovation of her her farmhouse in Suffolk. I can’t wait for you to hear this one!
