In January 2010, Mulberry debuted the "Alexa", a bag named after and inspired by her. Chung has won three British Style Awards at the Fashion Awards which are organised by the British Fashion Council. In 2013 she wrote the book It, a collection of personal writings, drawings and photographs. Her fashion label Alexa Chung, stylized ALEXACHUNG, launched in May 2017 and closed in 2022.
