About the Author
Friends Lucy St George and Jane Rockett came up with the idea for Rockett St George while on vacation together. Drawing on Jane’s experience in marketing and PR and Lucy’s background in retail, their aim was to source and sell quirky, glamorous, and unusual products that stand out from the crowd. Ten years on, Rockett St George's collections are a firm favourite of the press and interior decorators as well as a loyal and ever-expanding customer base. In recent years, they have launched pop-up collections at Liberty of London and Harvey Nichols Knightsbridge as well as their own paint range with Craig & Rose.
