We are pleased to announce the twelve emerging British luxury companies selected for the Walpole Brands of Tomorrow 2025 programme, supported by Mishcon de Reya LLP.

In womenswear, Cece Jewellery is breathing new life into the ancient art of enamel to create effortlessly elegant pieces while mock London is bringing the tradition of smocking right up to date. Meanwhile, Genevieve Sweeney Limited is threading together the importance of tradition and vibrant innovation to rewrite the story of British knitwear, while E.L.V. DENIM is handcrafting pieces from 100% upcycled materials. When it comes to next wave services, Curate Your Style is an expert personal styling company, empowering clients to build flattering, versatile wardrobes, and Teresa Tarmey Skincare – dubbed the ‘super facialist’ by Vogue – is harnessing 27 years working in the beauty industry to develop pioneering skin treatments and products. In the men’s realm, we welcome MJ JONES, which combines strength, inventiveness and technological innovation to create bold fine jewellery, and Original Fibres, which is a fabric-first London menswear label producing higher quality, lower impact clothing. For the home, Potts Candles is on a mission to replace single-use candle jars with refillable ‘Potts’ handmade in the UK by local artisan potters and MOLLY M LIMITED is a brand that integrates the ancient craft of block-printing to create uplifting, bright textiles. Last, but by no means least, Alice Wilkes Design is blending personal flair with a keen eye for detail to create extraordinary, bespoke events and experiences. We are excited to support these fast-rising stars of our sector on their journey, and we look forward to introducing them to our broader community throughout this year-long programme. #BOT25
