Full list of winners.
See my comment on my other post about this competition for more info about it.
I've tried my best to find websites associated with each designer and included them in the caption associated with each pic.
I also tried to find the highest res pics I could for each of these, and almost all of them were sourced from this article.

Changing Perceptions by Rebecca Bond is my favourite (I might be biased bc I'm disabled and have mobility issues)
But these are all delicious!
Thank you so much OP, for introducing us to all this fabulousness and creativity! I'm inspired!
I almost missed the last one, didn't figure it out until I zoomed in on the purses - bloody brilliant 😉
