Staff at a Sneinton-based firm are celebrating their success as fifteen products will now be sold in Selfridges, London. Officials from Luisa's Vegan Chocolates are also planning to open a second location in Sneinton Avenues.
The buyer approached founder Luisa Vici-Bedi and Marketing Director Isabella Bedi in late April after reading about the Easter bunny products the company made. When the team held an exhibition at the Royal Society in London, they invited the buyer to join them which impressed them so much that they placed an order for 15 different product lines.
"It feels a bit surreal at the moment because I've only been making chocolate for five years but I've immersed myself in the chocolate world just doing my thing. People really love the product and we have slowly been building up a customer base but this came out of nowhere and we didn't see it coming," Luisa said.
