As we mentioned in a previous post, 3:Eleven was nominated in the top 50 Inspiring Independents in the UK by the readers of Drapers, and last weekend we celebrated the success of all the indies involved with a party at Kensington Roof Gardens. We sipped Champagne and nibbled the night away on delicious canapés, while anticpating who would be voted No.1.
The time came to reveal the winner, and deservedly so it went to Browns, an independent who I'm sure is the benchmark for all others. We were pleased to see Oi Polloi, one of our fave menswear indies making it in to the top 10 and a few other North West based businesses making the top 50.
After only trading for 18 months, being ranked in the top 50 in the country was a massive achievement, yet on the evening we found out that we had actually been placed at 40th which we were delighted with.
It was a fabulous evening and was fantastic to be able to meet our peers who we have huge respect and admiration for, as we know how hard working, dedicated and passionate you have to be to survive in such a competitive market.
3:Eleven look forward to growing as a business and continuing to stay inspirational.
Coverage of the evening is featured in this week's Drapers, along with an Inspiring Independents supplement, see if you can spot us!
