The shortlist for this year’s Boutique Star Awards has now been revealed with 16 fashion and lifestyle independents selected as finalists. Biscuit Clothing and Living, Sassy and Boo, The Pantry Underwear, Stick and Ribbon and Gemini Woman are all up for awards while British brands Pomodoro, Chalk UK and Luella and sustainable labels by basics, Capri London and Aspiga are also on the shortlist.
The Boutique Star Awards first launched in 2019 to celebrate the UK’s best independent retailers and suppliers. Back this year following a three-year hiatus, the ultimate winners will be announced on Tuesday 8 November at a celebratory party at London’s May Fair Hotel. Tickets are now on sale and cost £150 each. Attendees will enjoy welcome drinks and canapés inside the hotel’s Atrium, a three-course feast with wine in its stunning Danziger suite, an awards ceremony hosted by television presenter Hayley Sparkes and a DJ and dance party.
