“Thora is one of the favourite places to visit for unique and bespoke gifts for our family”

Karen, York

Rachel is a mum of three children, a fabulous dag called Hattie, two tortoises and various other creatures.  She has lived in York most of her life and used to work in commercial buying for large companies.

As young child Rachel used to love rummaging at weekend jumble sales and curiosity shops with her parents.  Subsequently using her buying experience and love of unique home wares and gifts she decided to realise her dream of owning her own shop.

At this point Thora (an acronym of her childrens initials) and the Prince (an ancestral name) was born and the rest is history.

“I love the products at Thora, Rachel is really knowledgeable and so helpful”
