Gift Focus inc Attire Accessories - July/August 2023

MODA PREVIEW 131 Moda champions craftmanship and responsible sourcing With an exclusive edit of the most sought-after clothing, jewellery, fashion accessory and footwear collections as well as interior décor and accessories, gift, and beauty brands, and the launch of the gamechanging programme Connect @ Autumn Fair, we’re banking on Autumn Fair for sourcing all of next season’s bestsellers as it delivers completely fresh new looks, products, and trends. Attire Accessories has received a very early sneak peek into what we can expect from the UK’s leading shop for shops for wholesale Home, Gift and Fashion which takes place from 3rd – 6th September 2023 at NEC Birmingham, and we don’t think you’ll be disappointed. There’s a place for every business and every product type at Autumn Fair offering retailers the ultimate opportunity for point of difference. A TREASURE TROVE OF DELIGHTS Moda, the ultimate fashion destination at Autumn Fair, will offer buyers a treasure trove of exciting new brands and a host of exclusives to the show championing responsible and ethical sourcing and promoting handmade and artisan craftsmanship from the UK and around the world. With over 200 fashion brands, from the much-loved favourites - Jayley, Lighthouse Clothing, Paradiso Couture, Big Metal, Scream Pretty, Sea Gems, My Doris, Lisa Angel, Alpe, and Lunar – to exciting new names and exclusive brands, this is the place to source the widest range of new products for the coming season. Academie, distributor of French fashion and lifestyle products, will be showcasing for the first time in Moda with Travaux en Cours, Couleur Chanvre, Mousqueton, Norsk, and D.Grandiose. Classic Breton designs get a contemporary and quirky update from Mousqueton, a family business based on the west coast of Brittany in the heart of the sailing and fishing community. Think bright colours, natural fabrics, original designs inspired by the sea. For cool Mediterranean chic from the French Riviera, look out for the super stylish hats, bags and shoes from Travaux en Cours. D.Grandiose make beautiful sheepskin slippers and leather goods for travel, home and office at their artisan workshops near Toulouse, and for the ultimate socks made from Norwegian wool, hot foot it to see newcomers Norsk. Representing a passion for natural textiles, preserving their beauty and benefits, Couleur Chanvre showcases a desire to revive and pass on irreplaceable textile expertise that has been admired for centuries with its collection. Also showing for the first time and exclusively at Moda are Kama Silver, Schmuck Silver, U Jump, Karen Bags, and Nabi London. Born in East London in 2014 as a Sunday market hobby, Nabi London has since grown to offer a covetable collection of dainty jewellery intricately designed and handcrafted using semi-precious components combined with beautiful pendants, and a stunning gold collection. With a passion to ensure newness across the show floor, Moda is also welcoming Air Supreme, Tales from the Earth, Gist Jewellery, Lucy Kemp Jewellery, That’s Sew Laura, From the Source, AZ Designs, Wyld Blue World, Luvieh Jewellery, Elizabeth James, Socks Village and Bowtique London.
