London Creative: Gabriella Thorpe

We caught up with Gabriella Thorpe, who gives us the inside scoop of how Vintage Velvet Vodka was born and why networking is key in business.

1. How did Vintage Velvet Vodka come about?
Vintage Velvet was inspired by English vineyard grapes and the innovative idea to infuse with the untouched flavour of the grape to create a brand new infusion vodka.

2. How is it different to other vodka brands out there?
At Vintage Velvet we add the natural juice to our premium vodka after diatilliation to give it a very light sophisticated flavour which you won’t find anywhere else.

3. Any exciting plans ahead for 2017 for Vintage Velvet Vodka?
As a premium British product you shall see us collaborating with other British brands and venues in the near future in and around London.

4. Best piece of advice you have been given?
Talk to as many people as possible, you never know what doors might open!

5. What are your favourite hang out spots in London?
I like smaller boutique bars, such as Lounge Bohemia, Callooh Callay and the Natural Philosopher. Places which have good decor!

6. What would your ideal Sunday be like?
My ideal Sunday is to turn up the radio in the morning, roast in the afternoon and a glass of red in the evening, perhaps with a small clothes purchase thrown in.
