This past Sunday we attended the Retail Therapy Awards at the Royal Armouries in Leeds. The show is now in it's sixth year and this year attracted almost 32,000 votes from the public on who are their favorite retailers in Leeds. The night has an intimate atmosphere as most of the retailers seemed to know each other. It was nice to see that when an award was given to a shop, the other stores will cheer for them.
This bond is really visible between the independent retailers. Check out the video above of Rose & Co giving their speech about the independent scene in Leeds (Rose & Co won best womenswear)
