For those with a passion for accessories that are floral, feminine and inspired by nature will love Olivia Burton. The brand started in 2011 after best friends Jemma and Lesa took the plunge and started their own watch and jewellery company. The inspiration for starting the brand came from a shared love of design as well as the desire to find a watch they wanted to wear. Jemma and Lesa met on their first day at university, both studying at the London College of Fashion. After graduation, both Jemma and Lesa went off to pursue successful careers in fashion, working for top brands such as ASOS<\/a>, TopShop<\/a> and Selfridges<\/a>. However, the duo had other ideas when it came to their careers which started in 2011.

As they were both ex-fashion buyers with a passion for vintage style, they would often be found at antique markets, picking up beautiful vintage timepieces. Whilst these watches were undoubtedly beautiful, they often weren\u2019t in working condition, giving Jemma and Lesa all the motivation they needed to create their own collection of vintage inspired timepieces.
