Anna Soderstrom is a Swedish knitwear designer -36-year-old Anna grew up in Gotland, an island off Sweden where she spent her childhood summers cycling and climbing the strange rock formations.
She arrived in England around 2002 to attend Oxford’s Hertford College where she studied modern languages.
However, she turned to designing while being pregnant and after several commissions from friends, she set up her business selling a range of mainly cashmere scarves, hats and blankets from her website.
