We all miss it, the smell of fine Italian leather, the touch of the softest cashmere, the taste of the finest cuisine, but definitely not the sights of our credit card statements.

Whilst the ‘credit is still crunching’, we all have learnt to enjoy retailers’ sample sales, special tasting menus, and tip toeing to that ‘specials rail’ in the darkest corner of the store. Nothing wrong with discounts or on-sale items, after all they are just as well made, well prepared, and most likely been once on trend.

The problem is risk and guilt.

The risk of clashing outfits (luckily, not style) with the WAG-wannabes in a swanky West End bar, over two for one happy hour cocktails; the guilt of not-admitting your recent gate crash at a sample sale, or having purchased ill-fitting items because nothing was left in your size and in your chosen colour.

Hardly therapy is it?

Enter Little Emperors & Co, a highly exclusive membership service, offering selected clients privileged reduced rates in luxury travel, retail, lifestyle, dining, beauty, health and fitness.

With over 800 sought-after brands and companies, Little Emperors members can receive discounts of up to 60%! Little Emperors’ brand partners include high profile names such as Cartier, Prada, Jimmy Choo, Gordon Ramsay Group, The Ritz, Soho House, Browns Fashion and Boujis, to name a few.

No more queuing outside sample sales, nor do you have to, unintentionally, browse by that ‘special rail’. Enjoy Little Emperors’ discreet and superb service and bring all the joys of retail therapy back to your life!

Little Emperors & Co is the brainchild of Rebecca Masri and Elizabeth Sieff, a descendent of the Marks & Spencer family.

Elizabeth Sieff says: ‘We created Little Emperors & Co as an exclusive service allowing brands to offer their most valued customers a special reduced rate without compromising brand integrity – our memberships are already highly sought after due to the fantastic brands we work with’.

Membership costs a mere £575 for a year, a bargain considering all the discounts it allows you to receive.

Little Emperors & Co is launching on 2nd November, for more information visit http://www.littleemperors.com
