British luxury lingerie and nightwear designer, Emma Harris, has been named ‘Luxury Lingerie Store of the Year’ in the Central England Prestige Awards 2020/21. The Prestige Awards celebrate small and medium-sized enterprises all over the world that consistently offer excellent products and services to local residents and customers from afar. Prestige believe that SME businesses are the backbone of any economy, whilst also typically reflecting the unique characteristics of their particular city or region.
Osmaan Mahmood, Founder & CEO of Prestige Awards, said: “Although small businesses may not be able to compete with multinational companies on their size and scale, there is a personalised service-driven focus that is often void from large organisations.”
Emma Harris was chosen as Luxury Lingerie Store of the Year in the central region, having ‘thrived in its highly competitive community and proven its success.’ The luxury lingerie brand offers handmade lingerie and loungewear finished to the most exacting of standards and is proudly based in the historic heart of the British textile industry.
Based in Ilkeston, Derbyshire, an area which once flourished in lace and lingerie manufacture, the Emma Harris Atelier is located over 2 floors. The entire production, from design concept through to manufactured garment is produced solely in house to ensure rigorous quality control. Emma Harris has a large following of customers and is proud to be stocked in some of the most prestigious stores in the UK and US such as Fenwick of Bond Street, Jane’s Vanity and Anya Lust.
Claire Emma, founder of Emma Harris said: “We were told that the judging panel in the Prestige Awards base their decisions on areas such as service excellence, quality of the product provided, innovative practices, value, ethical or sustainable methods of working, consistency in performance and client feedback. The winners selected are those who can best demonstrate their strengths in these areas. It’s a long list of criteria but a list that we absolutely live and breathe so we are delighted and honoured to have been named as the winner in the Luxury Lingerie Store category.”
