For those of you who have been wondering what was happening to the 'landmark' corner on the harbour when the Alpha Bank closed its branch in February, all was revealed last evening.
Sophia De La Chovel, of the family who also own the Brooks Bros., My Ydra shop on the other side of the harbour, opened her MyCrown Art Collection on the East corner of Hydra Harbour on Friday 18th June 2021.
There was a small informal, early evening gathering to mark the event but because of the Covid restrictions it wasn't a party and was very low key.
The ground floor space has been refurbished with good lighting to display the work of various Greek artists which I was assured will be added to and changed on a regular basis.
Rather intriguing, it is also possible to buy cushion covers made from repurposed shirts. Owners of shirts that they no longer wear can bring them to the store to have the fabric remade as cushions, table napkins or mats that can be embroidered or not as you prefer.
The www.mycrowncollection.com website is still under construction but I feel sure it will be 'live' very soon.
The friendly staff will be waiting to greet you during normal Hydra shop opening hours. They can be contacted by email at mycrown@itapparel.gr or on the phone +(30) 22980 54031.
I wish them all the best for a successful future.
