Welcome to Anor Living
Growing up in Uzbekistan, I was surrounded by the rich history of the Silk Road and a remarkable tradition of craftsmanship, colour and textiles.
After moving to England, I continued to feel deeply connected to this heritage. Over the years, whenever I returned to Uzbekistan, I found myself bringing back pieces that I loved — antique and contemporary suzanis, traditional chapans (coats), ceramics, textiles and other beautifully handcrafted objects. Slowly and quite naturally, I began building my own collection.
I have always loved travelling, discovering new places and seeking out beautiful and unusual things. For me, there is something very special about finding an object with a story — something made with skill, patience and soul.
As my collection grew, so did my desire to share these discoveries with others. I wanted to create a way for people beyond Uzbekistan to experience the beauty, craftsmanship and stories behind these pieces. And, very naturally, this became the beginning of Anor Living.
Today, I work closely with artisans and designers in Samarkand and Margelan and Bukhara, building personal relationships with the people who continue these extraordinary traditions. My role is one of discovery and curation — seeking out pieces that speak to me for their beauty, individuality and craftsmanship, and bringing them together through Anor Living to be discovered, lived with and loved by others.
