Victoria Beckham wins Walpole luxury brand award
UK luxury industry association Walpole has named Victoria Beckham as British Luxury Brand of the Year. It held its British Luxury Awards for 2015 at The Dorchester in London on November 2.

A recent report commissioned by Walpole put the value of sales from UK luxury industries at £32.2 billion per year, with the sector employing more than 118,000 people. It also forecast that the UK luxury sector would continue to grow rapidly with the value of sales in the luxury industry predicted to double by 2019.

Walpole also named Charlotte Olympia Dellal as the best luxury brand ambassador for her eponymous footwear brand, and Valentino as the best international luxury brand.

Commenting on her award, Victoria Beckham said: “For my brand to be recognised amongst such great talent this evening makes me incredibly proud. UK luxury has a global reputation for its quality, design, craftsmanship and creativity and I’m delighted to have received this award.”

Ms Beckham’s range of bags use high-end materials including buffalo, ostrich, calf and lamb nappa and are hand-crafted in Italy.
