Founded in 2015, Berber Leather is run by father-daughter team Paul and Beki. Berber Leather was created when Paul received a leather satchel from a partner on a project that connected him with Morocco. Many compliments on the bag later, Paul realised there was a market for these types of bags and Berber Leather was formed. Berber Leather works in partnership with Atlas Leather in Morocco, and together the two companies select the finest leather and highest-quality bags for customers in the UK. From the initial satchel that inspired it, Berber Leather has grown to now feature the range of products that you see in store and online today.
BEST HAT – SPONSORED BY HATS OF YORKSHIRE
The winner of the Best Hat competition will receive a £200 voucher for hat hire from Hats of Yorkshire in Ripon.
Hats of Yorkshire is a boutique store based in Ripon, North Yorkshire, offering an affordable range of fascinators and hats for hire or purchase. They also have a range of handbags and can create bespoke handmade headpieces to match your outfit and colour choice.
