Gift Focus inc Attire Accessories - May/June 2020

72 New beginnings W elcome back to our regular readers, and hello to those new to Attire Accessories magazine! Having had a bit of a change up, we are now excited to join forces with Gift Focus magazine to serve up a bumper offering of industry news, show details and, of course, all the best products on the market. At the time of writing the world is going through a turbulent time, however, it’s more important than ever to support small business. To that end, I am throwing the spotlight on handbags, gold & silver jewellery, men’s accessories and watches. We also have all the industry news, new product showcase, and a focus on up and coming business POA London. We hope that, as we all adapt to a new retail landscape and implement and activate different business strategies, we can all emerge victorious from this moment in history. Editor Louise Prance EDITOR’S LETTER @AttireAccessories @AttireAccessories @AttireAccMag www.attireaccessories.com On the cover Cover image courtesy of Voice International Ed Loves One of the things getting many people through these uncertain times – alongside the hilarious memes and gin – is the love of our furry friends. Here at the Prance household we have a brood of five chickens, who, quite frankly, act like dogs due to the amount of time my children spend stroking and playing with them. They have given us great joy and a sense of purpose during our lockdown period, and never fail to make us laugh with their funny ways. And let’s face it, laughter is good for the soul right now. To this end, my editor loves goes to this beautiful jewellery range by Reeves & Reeves. Quirky, classic and fun, I’ll just make sure I don’t wear the fox necklace while tending the chicks!
