A Yorkshire lifestyle brand has been named among the region’s best for a second year in a row.
Harrogate sisters Clare and Lucy Bulmer, founders of Luce and Bear, took home the award for Best Fashion & Interiors at the 2026 Yorkshire Muddy Stilettos Awards, following their win for Best Women’s Style in 2025.
Clare said: "We're absolutely thrilled.
"Winning last year was amazing, but to win a Muddy Award for the second year running is just incredible.
"There are so many brilliant businesses doing great things across Yorkshire, so to be recognised for the second time is huge for our small brand."
The awards, now in their 12th year, celebrate outstanding independent businesses across the UK.
This year’s event received nearly half a million nominations and votes.
The Bulmer sisters collected their winner’s certificate at the Yorkshire Winners’ Drinks, held at Holdsworth House near Halifax.
Luce and Bear has now won four major awards in 18 months, including a Small Business Award from Theo Paphitis and the Judges’ Choice Award at the national Woman Who Achieves Awards.
The business is known for its casual clothing and accessories, blending Yorkshire humour with positive messaging and storytelling.
