Maxwell - Scott Nominated For Drapers Award Second Year In A Row

For the second year running, Yorkshire based luxury leather brand Maxwell - Scott has been shortlisted for a prestigious Drapers award.

For a rising brand in the fashion industry, it doesn’t get much better than a Drapers Award nomination. Celebrating the best in the fashion sector, the Drapers Awards praises the work of every corner of the industry within 21 categories, from Best Store Design to Best Marketing Campaign. This year, Maxwell-Scott have been shortlisted for Accessories Brand of the Year; a nomination which was also gratefully received by the luxury brand in 2018.

William Forshaw, CEO & Founder of Maxwell – Scott, said: “It feels wonderful to be nominated once again for the Accessories Brand of the Year award. When I first launched Maxwell – Scott, I aspired to be recognised by the fashion industry’s leaders – Drapers was most certainly on that list. For it to now be a reality is a true ‘pinch me’ moment. I am very much looking forward to the awards ceremony in November.”

This year, the prestigious awards ceremony will take place on 21st November at Exhibition in London for the very first time. Around eight hundred of fashion’s finest will attend the glamorous black-tie event at the brand new Grade II listed venue – aptly situated next to the city’s retail giant, Westfield.

Maxwell-Scott was founded in 2002 by Harrogate-born William Scott Forshaw. The company offers handcrafted briefcases, handbags, holdalls and smaller accessories made in Italy. Each piece has a 25 year guarantee - an absolute imperative for William. After all, he designs accessories to last a lifetime as a testament to slow consumerism.
