Amazing 2 weeks - new department stores and award

It has been an extremely busy past couple of weeks. I am not too sure where June has gone really! As well as preparing for my best friend's wedding, I had meetings lined up with The Times, Red Magazine, Ely's department store and Fenwick. All in all though, I could not have asked for better results.

Firstly, the meeting with The Times and then Red magazine was fantastic. They loved the new pieces in particular, the new Melissa Handbag and the Chloe Wallet, so fingers crossed...:


I am so thrilled with the new Melissa. It took me a long time to fully amend the style to make it perfect. As such, it now is designed so that it can be worn on the shoulder, across the body or as a clutch bag. Currently it comes in Light Grey, Mocha and Midnight Blue....perfect for heading into autumn (though light enough for summer). As always, the lining is BoBelle's deep red signature lining and all new styles now boast our 'BoBelle London' tag.

All of our boutiques love the new styles and I am thrilled to announce that BoBelle London can now be found in Ely's of Wimbledon and Selby's of Islington department stores. This is a huge achievement and reflects how the BoBelle London brand has evolved and grown. Please do have a look if you are passing, and of course, let me know your thoughts!

Whilst away in Portugal for my best friend's wedding I won the Top 35 Businesswomen Under 35 Award from Management Today. I was so honoured to have received this award and I am consequently being taken out, courtesy of Kleinwort Benson, next week at Fortnum and Mason. The award was featured in The Sunday Times Business section and the women who won range from entrepreneurs and creative designers through to financial experts and business acquisition specialists. To be on this list is fantastic as this exclusive journal has recognised our hard work, perseverance and ambition. This award is in its 10th year and last year Sarah Curran, the founder of My-Wardrobe.com, won too. I endeavour to make the BoBelle London brand as big as the My-Wardrobe.com boutique - all in good time!
