Tansy
Co Founder and half of Tada & Toy
Describe your role at Tada & Toy?
A bit of everything! Dipping in and out of business development, wholesale collaborations and writing copy for the website, newsletters and social media.
What is your everyday piece of Tada & Toy and why?
At the moment the Lucky Charm Hoops & Sunrise Charms in Gold - they are the easiest thing to leave in, forget about and look cool everyday.
If you could choose somewhere to travel tomorrow where would it be?
Ischia, an island off the coast of Italy for sun kissed beaches, fresh pasta and endless ice cold glasses of wine.
Favourite spot to eat in London?
I love to be able to walk to dinner near where I live in Notting Hill. Round the corner I have 6 Portland Road which boasts a rotating weekly menu of consistently delicious food and wine. Another neighbourhood favourite of mine is the pizzeria downstairs at Assagi which never fails to produce the crispiest most divine pizzas.
If you were an animal what would you be and why?
A moloch Gibbon, they make the sweetest noise and swinging through the forest must be the most liberating wonderful feeling.
Victoria
Co Founder and half of Tada & Toy
Describe your role at Tada & Toy?
Having studied painting at art school heads up a lot of the creative side. Although
the design process is completely collaborative there is a lot of other creative that goes into the brand from the imagery on our Instagram to the email creatives we send out to customers.
What is your everyday piece of Tada & Toy?
At the moment I am loving wearing our new pearl hoops, I wear a single every day and then in the evenings I layer them, mixing the colours to create more of a statement. I always without fail wear one of our ear cuffs.
If you could choose somewhere to travel tomorrow where would it be?
Brazil - I have never been and would love to walk down the beaches, eat the local food and explore the hectic cities.
Favourite spot to eat in London?
For everyday 26 grains which is the best for breakfast and lunch in the buzzy Covent Garden (I am biased because my sister is a chef there and our best friend Alex owns it! For something special 7 saints is the best for delicious seasonal food, yummy wine and beautiful relaxing interiors.
If you were an animal what would you be and why?
I would love to be a dolphin, they always look happy - I love the water and being in the sea makes me feel calm but I think most people would think I should be a Giraffe because I am very very tall (and i think they would be my favourite wild animal) not forgetting my dog Atlas who is my no 1.
