We are winners!
18 months after opening our doors to you lovely lot, Drapers Independents Awards 2013 have named us Best New Business in their glitzy annual awards ceremony. Yey! We are so chuffed!
We were invited to join fashion's finest independent retailers and brands at the Drapers Independents Awards lunch at the Waldorf Hilton Hotel in London on November 7. The awards showcased some of the most entrepreneurial individuals and businesses in the industry today, with the aim to put the UK's independent fashion retail sector firmly on the map.
We went not expecting to walk away with an award, but just happy to have a good excuse for a gossip with our suppliers, agents and fellow retailers. Oh, and enjoy a glass or two of bubbly...When they called our name as winners of Best New Business category we were genuinely surprised, as the competition was tough.
Some fantastic shops were nominated including the gorgeous underwear boutique Dolci Follie. Have a little look at their website, they are a little bit naughty in the nicest possible way!
Other winners on the night included:
Best Independent Multi Channel Operator- Chocolate Clothing
Fashion Agency of the Year- Chiltern Street Studio
Lifestyle Independent of the Year- Anns Cottage Surf Shops
Here is little old me with my huge (and very heavy!) award.
I wore my favourite Poppy Lux pleated maxi skirt, which I teamed with some gorgeous little black ankle boots from Office.
