There are certain sector-defining brands that first come to mind when thinking about luxury. Be it LVMH, Rolex, or Gucci, there is a selection of major players that set the standard for global prestige. But they all had to get their start somewhere. In the ever-evolving world we find ourselves in, nurturing the next generation of makers and creators is integral to sustaining the industry. Now, for 19 years in a row, the Walpole Brands of Tomorrow programme has sought to bring that to reality. Here, 12 carefully selected brands receive a year’s worth of guidance through workshops and mentorships from some of the UK’s most experienced luxury executives and founders.
