Casa Copenhagen

Theresa Bastrup Hasman - Founder of Casa Copenhagen

I've always been in love with beautiful design, and I graduated from Fashion College in Denmark in 1998. Soon after, I left my native Copenhagen for the quirky charm of Amsterdam, and spent the next few years spreading my wings as a designer for a big fashion company. I came to the UK with my husband in 2001, to work as a designer and buyer for one of the UK's biggest retailers. The buzz and creativity of London and the glow and tranquility of our home, Bucks, have proved as inspiring as anywhere else in the world.

Throughout my career, I've been guided by a real passion for high quality, responsibly sourced, elegant products. This was the main push for me to start my own business to make this kind of thing available to people who were looking for it. In 2005, Casa Copenhagen - my dream of premium quality, beautiful, ethical home furnishings - became reality. I 2007 we added a range of beautiful fashion accessories: Pure by Casa Copenhagen made both in the Uk and in India.
