Lotta Andonian:
Eat Chic Chocolates
Eat Chic Chocolates has its roots in London, where founder Lotta Andonian started selling peanut butter cups as a side project to her job in fashion marketing under the brand Eat Chic while living abroad in 2014. Orders quickly grew from 100 at a time to 1000 at a time, and after many sleepless nights juggling both jobs, Andonian quit fashion marketing to make chocolates as her full-time career in 2015. Within months, the chocolates were stocked in some of the world’s most prestigious food halls, including Selfridges and Fortnum & Mason; won two Great Taste Awards; and were featured in publications such as Vogue.co.uk, Stylist, The Evening Standard, Grazia, BBC Good Food, and many more.
Homesick, Andonian moved to back to the U.S. in the summer of 2016 to relaunch the business as Eat Chic Chocolates out of Brooklyn Food Works in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn.
