Calypso Rose was named the London Young Business Person of the Year in
2004, the year she made her first Clippykit bag on her kitchen table.
From one bag the range now consists of over 40 products and is stocked in
over 300 independent gift shops and department stores across the UK.
The bags are also widely used in the promotions industry and have been used
for prestigious events such as The Orange Book Prize and The Brit Awards.
She has since gone on to win numerous business awards for the Clippykit range,
including Make Your Mark's 'Enterprising Young Brit'.
