We are delighted to have won the prestigious Product Innovation award from Waitrose. This award recognises that Creative Tops has been instrumental in the development of Waitrose themed Home Assortments range. The Award also recognises Creative Tops product innovation, design excellence and fantastic working relationship with the buying and technology teams at Waitrose.
Out of 400 suppliers that attended the 2010 Conference, Creative Tops were only one of twelve suppliers to win an award.
We were the only non-food supplier to win an award which is an amazing achievement. Our award is for product innovation, helping Waitrose develop their corporate own branded ranges. Waitrose also want to thank Laura Garratt, Creative Tops designer, for all her amazing hard work on the design.

New Katie Alice collection on display at The Deco Affair
We are delighted to announce that our new collection of vintage inspired ceramics, designed by Katie Alice, will be on display at this year’s most important interior stylist event, The Deco Affair, which will take place in London on 14th October.
The Deco Affair is the interiors and lifestyle press event and is a brand new concept where the press can come together and view some of the latest and most exciting interior and homewares products in the industry.
Patrizia Gucci will be headlining the event and will be showing, never seen before, stunning soft furnishings collection. Patrizia herself will be flying in from Italy to be there in person, to launch her new brand and to officially open the event itself.
With so many exciting developments the evening is promising to be a truly glitzy affair, with celebrities; mouth-watering michelin star canapés that will send your taste buds wild; oodles of Perrier Jouet champagne; Bottle Green’ Bottle Pink soft drink supporting breast cancer; funky Danish micro beers in wacky flavours; an incredible magician who will blow your mind; cool music; London’s top mixologist will be throwing cocktails; the chance to win a severely covetable Gucci handbag donated by Patrizia Gucci; and importantly the chance to be the first to see the amazing showcase of brand new products from many fantastic lifestyle brands all in one place!
In addition there will be a dedicated press office with all press packs; the opportunity to interview company owners, celebrities and lifestyle gurus; and the very best luxury goodie bags to take away with you – no leaflets, just gorgeous gifts especially for you!
The Deco Affair is the destination event for lifestyle journalists and editors. A massive press launch party and networking opportunity – this is one not to be missed.
