THE NAVAS COLLECTION
Navas are a Cornwall based drinks company that create delicate mixers to compliment the excellent craft spirits of the South West. Using only natural botanicals of the best provenance and Cornish spring water, the light and complex flavours in their tonics enhance these spirits and are delicious on their own too.
THEIR MISSION: TO CREATE THE BEST DRINKS, USE BUSINESS TO PROMOTE RESPONSIBLE MANAGEMENT OF THE ENVIRONMENT AND SUPPORT OUR COMMUNITY IN CORNWALL, TOWARD A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE, FOR ONE AND ALL.
We also have a love for the origin of their name, the beautiful Helford River and the small creek village Port Navas. Our local go-to for fresh post work sea dips and weekend riverside wanderings. With our like-minded ethos and shared love for the Helford passage, we were very excited when Nick reached out to the studio with his unique commission idea…
A strong, spacious and comfortable rucksack for exploring the Helford and foraging ingredients. Yet also smart and multi-functional for visiting local clients, product tasting and demonstrating new cocktail recipes. To carry drinks, bar kit, laptop, notebook, wet clothes and items for the beach.
