About us...
At the heart of the company you'll find Claudia Meynell, a mother of five. As well as overseeing the day-to-day running of purple-heart.com, she also is the creative force behind the business. Backed by a dynamic, loyal and hard working team, she is committed to providing every customer with a fresh, inspiring and successful shopping experience.
We are a family run business and are happy to answer any queries you may have. Please don't hesitate to ring or email us with your questions or comments... enjoy our website!
Why are we called purple-heart.com?
This is definitely one for Claudia. She says the name comes from her most popular china design (she has another career as a well known ceramicist but doesn't get round to it too much these days). Yes, we know if you study it closely you won't actually find any purple hearts (shh... don't tell her), but nevertheless, it is striking and resonant and we think it reflects our personality perfectly. You'll find both our shop and our website continue this design, making us rather hard to miss.
So there you have it! And thank you for shopping with purple-heart.com.
