Hello... and welcome to the first of the Inkerman monthly edits, where we will be including gift ideas, projects we are working on and insights into the world of Inkerman. As the clocks go back, evenings are drawing in and Christmas is not that far away we thought it would be a good idea to put together some November essentials and share some uplifting and insightful news about what we've been doing.
We hope you enjoy it

THE BUTE ENERGY WELSH CUP
What an honour for Inkerman to have been commissioned by FAW (Football Association of Wales) to make their new Women’s Trophy, The Bute Energy Welsh Cup.
Made in the UK by traditional silversmiths and engravers, the trophy went through seven processes of manufacturer including spinning, modelling, casting, silversmithing, polishing, plating and engraving and in total took 180 hours to complete.
'Two women led businesses working on a women's football trophy has been really empowering'.

INKERMAN AT GOODWOOD
What a great day we had at Goodwood for the Inkerman Handicap Stakes with a picnic lunch and then a great afternoon of racing. Judging the best turned out and a visit to the Duke's Box to watch the race is always such a treat.
Working with Goodwood as their official trophy supplier highlights how lucky we are to have such great clients in such great venues!
"There are some amazing racecourses around the world, but without fail you feel like you are in one of the most special" Darcey Bussell

The Inkerman leather and pewter hip flask is a great gift for Christmas and can be engraved with a date or initials on the shoulder. Wrapping up this winter with one of our Herringbone throws is a must for those cold dark nights and we are excited to share our new easy to wear Tilly bags available in a variety of colours with canvas straps, ideal for phones, keys and small accessories if you don't want to carry a large handbag.
