Gift Focus inc Attire Accessories - January/February 2022

164 INDX Accessories returns to a live format to play host to a plethora of forward-thinking innovative and independent design talent INDX Accessories will return to Cranmore Park exhibition venue in Solihull on 22-23 March 2022. In direct response to community feedback, the last edition of the Accessories tradeshow ran alongside INDX Womenswear & Footwear in July 2021, and prior to that, the last live format INDX Accessories show took place in September 2019, so the industry is understandably keen to get back to its usual standalone presentation. Martina Honeyghan, INDX Accessories Organiser, said, “Having been unable to hold a physical event for such a long time, it was important for us to get back to a live show as soon as possible, and our buyers and suppliers were keen for us to bring the 2021 INDX Accessories show forward for one season, and to run it simultaneously with the Womenswear show. We are proud to have got back up and running so quickly and to have re-connected our community safely, but for 2022 we look forward to returning to a standalone show and unveiling a dedicated accessories edit.” Maintaining its business and buyer focus, and its inimitable friendly and informal environment, INDX Accessories will provide an unmissable opportunity for buyers to see an inclusive mix of product ranges, covering bags, small leathers, fashion accessories, travel, softs, jewellery, and gifts. Furthermore, in an exciting development, the next edition of the show is looking to expand its category coverage into pet accessories and more – visitors can follow INDX Fashion on social media for all the latest updates! Due to restrictions in place at the time, some brands were forced to miss the 2021 show, but exhibitor up-take for the March 2022 edition has been phenomenal and the brand list promises an exciting and inclusive showcase. Buyers can expect the latest ranges from an inspiring selection of names featuring long-standing and key returning suppliers including Healthy Back Bag, Nova Leathers, David Jones, Envy Bags, Woodlands, Fable, Mele & co, Sabbot, Spirit, Boardmans, Remaldi, Totes, Just Sheepskin and Bowtique, whilst newcomers will include Alice Wheeler London, Pampeano, Paul Oliver Designs, London Leathergoods, Passion Accessories, SKIMP, Eco Scarves, FanU, Foxfield Fine Leather, Lorenz Accessories and Milano Belts. INDX Accessories offers free entrance, free on-site parking, complimentary refreshments to all visitors and attendees can look forward to a relaxed and professional buying platform in which to network and connect with the industry. Visitor registration can be completed by visiting the INDX website, which also houses an exhibitor list and further show information including an up to date COVID-19 policy.
