November, 400 luxury industry creatives, leaders, tastemakers and celebrities gathered in The Ballroom at The Dorchester for the Walpole British Luxury Awards 2022

The annual Awards ceremony shines a light on the world-leading creativity, design, innovation, talent, storytelling and craftsmanship that makes the luxury sector the jewel in the crown of UK PLC. A hand-picked panel of sector insiders and luxury afficionados selected the best of the best from nominations across categories including Creative Collaboration and Luxury Innovation, while a jury of sustainability leaders selected the Sustainable Luxury Brand of the Year.

For the first time, 2022 also saw the award for British Luxury Brand of the Year voted for by the Walpole Academy, comprising luxury stakeholders, panel members and the Walpole membership. This new peer-reviewed process establishes this honour as a true industry-recognised accolade. The event was hosted by actor Saffron Hocking and guests enjoyed pre-ceremony dinner, live music, and drinks courtesy of Laurent-Perrier and Royal Salute.
