About Eredità & Adesso
A Fusion of Creative Heritage & Contemporary Vision
About Us
Eredità & Adesso was founded by Charlie and Anne Chaisty, a creative duo united by their passion for art, design, and sustainable fashion. Their story began at the prestigious Central Saint Martins, where they developed their craft in fashion design and illustration.
Together, they have built successful careers across fashion accessory design, publishing, and illustration. Their work has appeared in leading publications including Vogue, I-D, Elle Decoration, Time Out, and Punch, as well as on Penguin book covers and throughout the music press.
Art, Design, Style
Drawing on many years of industry and teaching experience, Charlie & Anne launched the Eredità & Adesso brand in 2020. They began by showcasing and selling their distinctive creations at major events across the UK and through a series of pop-up shops.
As their following grew, they opened their first dedicated space in Belper, Derbyshire, in March 2023. This milestone allowed them to broaden their offering, introducing an expanded product range and a variety of art classes led by highly qualified tutors.
In 2025, Eredità & Adesso moved into Derby Market Hall, marking the next stage of the brand’s growth with the opening of their NEW Gift Shop in the heart of the city centre.
Creative Collaborations
The team at Eredità & Adesso is a collective of experienced creatives who share a commitment to quality, sustainability, and artistic expression. They are passionate about fostering creativity in others and offer work placements to students aspiring to pursue higher education in design.
