NikoDafkos和PaulFirmin给哈克尼带来了一丝西海岸手工艺，他们精心策划的生活方式商店和品牌，东伦敦伯爵。这对夫妇最初是在几年前穿越加州的时候想到这个生意的。他们注意到在Silvertown和Echo Park这样的社区里有很多独立的生活方式商店，他们的家乡伦敦似乎缺少一些东西。

当我们回到伦敦时，我们都在讨论如何做我们自己的事情。菲尔明说：“我们喜欢旧货，并认为市场上存在一定的差距，以创造出一家精心策划的生活方式商店和品牌。”这个羽翼未丰的品牌最初在东伦敦每周的NetilMarket上是一个单独的摊档。冒险进入它现在的永久家园-市场上的一个旧集装箱-你会发现一种耐人寻味的组合：老式的玻璃瓶，许多独立的美国品牌的蜡烛，甚至还有奇怪的肉质。

除了其他生活方式品牌的策划项目外，东伦敦伯爵背后的创意力量也在开发一些附带项目。他们最近与当地建筑师兼职陶艺家thidaa roberts(蓝小子陶器)合作，创造了一系列由旅行而来的名为“万德欲”的香味蜡烛。由于大众的需求(范围在两小时内销售一空)，他们计划开始一对一定制蜡烛制作会议，甚至有一个皮具系列正在筹备中。

While travelling through California, Niko and Pail noticed the abundance of independent lifestyle stores in neighbourhoods like Silvertown and Echo Park; something their hometown of London seemed to be lacking

The fledgling brand started off as a single stall at Netil Market once a week. Venture into its now permanent home - an old shipping container also in the market - and you'll find an intriguing mix of vintage carafes, candles from a number of independent American brands, and even the odd suculent

They recently collaborated with local architect and part-time ceramicist, Thidaa (of Blue Guy Pottery), to create a range of travel-inspired scented candles called Wanderlust

They have plans to begin doing some one to one bespoke candle making sessions, and even have a leather goods range in the pipeline
