They were also the focal point in the June 2006 issue of Red Magazine: ‘How to Start Your Own Business’.

Since the launch of the label, Belle &Bunty have picked up impressive media attention with a strong following of celebrities frequently wearing their clothes and numerous stockists both in the UK and abroad. Celebrity fans include June Sarpong, Victoria Beckham, Kate Bosworth, AnaMatronic of the Scissor Sisters. Victoria Beckham also recently featured Belle & Bunty’s best-selling wrap dress in her new book ‘That Extra Half an Inch.’
