Book of
British Luxury

The Walpole Book of British Luxury is our annual love letter to the UK luxury sector, highlighting the full spectrum of our organisation's membership and work, as well as featuring notable names speaking on the trends that will get getting our industry talking over the coming year.

As we move into a new national era under a new monarch, our 2023/2024 edition looks to ask the question, "who do we think we are?" What are the characteristics that will come to define Britishness over the coming years? Inside the edition, we have a selection of inspiring essays that explore just that, penned by writers including the Evening Standard's Jimi Famurewa, ELLE UK’s Kenya Hunt, ELLE Decoration’s Ben Spriggs and more, as well as best-selling authors such as Raven Smith, Tristram Hunt and Roxie Nafousi.
