Getting ready for UK Aware show at Olympia, London

It is always so exciting doing shows; the adrenalin, the rush, the enthusiasm....but it is serious hard work, too! Our list of things to do and pick up today spreads over two pages, but it will all be worth it in the end.

UK Aware is the number 1 ethical and green lifestyle show. It is in its second year now and over 70,000 people flocked to the venue last year in light of finding out more on how to be more ethical and how to support local and small businesses.

BoBelle London will be on stand 128 and we will be showcasing our gorgeous collection of ladies leather handbags, leather purses, leather keyrings, leather wallets and more. The recession has certainly made people think more about where they spend their money and how also much. Small businesses, or SME's (Small to Medium Enterprises) employ a staggeringly large amount of people in the UK especially. We have to show our support to these people and not just succomb to the giant retailers. I am sure we all know someone who has unfortunately lost their job in the recession or seen their business suffer, it is heartbreaking. However, what is needed in times like this are new strategies and new ventures. UK Aware is great for this as hundreds of small brands are working together to educate and show the public that ethical does not have to mean expensive, nor does it mean solely 'hemp'. BoBelle London is at the forefront of this. Our sumptuous hand made eel skin leather handbags are truly stunning. The leather is a by-product of the food industry and is so unique; soft, incredibly strong and durable. Our collection boasts fabulous colours such as Royal Blue, Ravishing Red and Pretty in Pink. Who said ethical is frumpy? It certainly isn't at BoBelle London!!

Other brands at UK Aware will include Izzy Lane, Egg Mag and Onya. There is going to be a fabulous fashion show hosted by Daisy Green Magazine and Ethical Heaven which promises to bring the best of ethical fashion onto the catwalk. Again, BoBelle London will be showcasing! No hemp allowed....
