    Marie Claire’s mentoring scheme has seen another entrepreneur achieve her dreams as BoBelle’s Claire Watt-Smith launches the first stand-alone boutique in London’s Marylebone

    Bobelle London’s first stand-alone boutique is the latest success story to come out of Marie Claire’s Inspire and Mentor campaign.

    The brand was founded by Claire Watt-Smith in 2008 and specialises in high quality leather accessories from key rings to handbags.They can be found in over 90 boutiques and stores across the UK and Ireland.

    The new boutique is sandwiched between a splashing of sought-after labels including Ronen Chen, Osman Yousefzada and Eliska, on New Quebec Street in the heart of buzzing Marylebone.

    Claire says: ‘Launching our own boutique was a natural progression for the brand and it is the perfect time before our major brand collaboration launches at the end of April so watch this space.’
