During the four day showcase, a range of participating boutiques and businesses will celebrate their British luxury heritage, inviting the public to participate in a series of in store events, exhibitions and talks. Proceeds from the sales during the campaign will benefit Walpole member, Historic Royal Palaces, an organisation that works to preserve historic buildings in Britain, including Tower ofLondon and Kensington Palace.

The British luxury industry is thriving and its contribution to the UK economy - recently valued at £32.2 billion - is increasingly significant. The celebration in New York will reinforce the demand for British luxury and highlight the growing number of British brands that now call Madison Avenue home."
