2025 DESIGN EXCELLENCE AWARDS WINNERS

The Accessories Council celebrated its 7th Annual Design Excellence Awards with a glamorous breakfast at The Fifth Avenue Hotel in the heart of New York City. The sold-out event attracted a who’s who of brands and designers, capping off a months-long celebration of exceptional product design.

This year’s winners ranged from luxurious statement pieces to brilliantly functional everyday essentials — all perfectly timed for the crucial holiday shopping season. The competition was fierce, with voting so close in several categories that we had two ties.

Congratulations to every finalist who showcased the innovation and creativity that define our industry. From established brands we know and love to exciting emerging talent, this year’s winners represent an exceptional array of products embodying design excellence.

A big thank you to our sponsors: Calares, Fashionphile, IFF/Furmark, Marchon, and Philmar Fabrics for helping to make the event a success. We invite you to explore this year’s winning designs and discover the accessories that are defining the season ahead.
