From a bustling career in finance and tech to a surprise twist that changed everything, meet Natasha de Teran. In 2020, at 51, Natasha began feeling unwell, often fainting, which was initially blamed on her hectic work schedule and the menopause. Little did she know that her life was about to take an unexpected turn.
After Covid hit in 2021, Natasha was rushed to the hospital with severe pain. The shocking news? Stage four bowel cancer. It was a difficult time, compounded by a tough recovery and the trials of lockdown. Yet, within the beauty of her Monmouthshire village and the support from her family, Natasha found solace and strength.
As she navigated through treatment, Natasha discovered a surprising new passion—designing coats. What began as a therapeutic activity soon evolved into a thriving business. With a flair for fashion, Natasha channelled her creative spirit, turning her focus to making one-of-a-kind coats, all crafted in Britain with a commitment to quality and transparency.
Her company, Ednerat, has quickly gained fans from all walks of life. From older women often overlooked by mainstream fashion to those simply seeking a statement piece, Natasha’s coats offer unique style and a perfect fit for every body type.
Today, Natasha not only runs her own successful business but also serves as a trustee for a Welsh cancer charity and advocates for women in business. She’s turned a devastating diagnosis into a design success story.
If Natasha’s journey teaches us anything, it’s the power of resilience and the magic that can emerge from life’s darkest chapters. Her beautifully crafted coats serve as a reminder that, sometimes, unexpected detours lead to the most rewarding destinations.
