Mekhann is a London-based design house specialising in hand-embroidered silk works. Our Bond Street store is not a typical retail environment. It is a quiet, visually led space where rhythm, discretion and consistency define the client experience.

We are hiring a full-time Store Assistant to take responsibility for the daily running of the store.

This is a front-of-house role, but not a traditional sales position. You will welcome clients, maintain the atmosphere of the space, and support the daily rhythm. Sales may occur, but only as a natural extension of presence — not persuasion.

The role reports directly to the founder and requires a steady sense of pace, attentiveness to detail and an instinctive understanding of when to act and when to hold stillness.
