124 See it first at INDX Woman – the first UK womenswear tradeshow in the 2024 calendar INDX Woman will return to its West Midlands venue Cranmore Park early next year, running from Wednesday 31 January to Thursday 1 February and online registration is now open. As the first UK womenswear trade show to take place in 2024 and bringing together an expertly selected product showcase across apparel, footwear, and fashion accessories, this will be the opening opportunity for buyers and retailers to see new collections from over 120 brands. Curated by buyers for buyers, INDX Woman is part of the INDX portfolio of business-focused trade shows which are organised by Associated Independent Stores (AIS), the UK’s leading buying and services group for Fashion, Home, and Leisure. A successful summer show The 2024 dates come off the back of a very successful summer show, which took place in July, recorded an increase in visitor footfall and showcased over 30 new exhibitors. Alongside must-have clothing labels, the July 2023 brand list featured leading accessories brands including Luella Grey London, Kipling, David Jones, Envy Bags, Tempest Designs, Healthy Back Bag, Boardmans, Fulton, Lappella, Gianni Conti, Lakeland Leather, My Funky Bags, Golunski, Hunts, Alice Wheeler London, Bueno, Madison, and J Handbags. Meanwhile the footwear sector was supported by key names such as Superga, TOM’s, Hush Puppies, Hey Dude, Riva, Caprice, Rocket Dog, Bagatt, Lunar, Lotus, and Ravel. INDX Woman has become a destination order-writing event for the womenswear industry, and long-standing exhibitor Rob Franks, Managing Director of Nova Leathers comments: “We’ve been attending INDX shows for many years and INDX Woman is definitely an orderwriting show for us rather than a show that buyers visit simply to browse. “It’s well organised, has a great atmosphere and everyone is super friendly. We see retailers from across the UK, and we use the show to meet and catch-up with existing customers as well as connecting with potential new stockists.” A business-focused approach Offering a unique buyer and business focused approach, INDX Woman continues to attract department stores, fashion boutiques, garden centres, gift shops, and lifestyle retailers. Although visitor registrations are pre-vetted to ensure admission is reserved for retailers and buyers, you do not need to be an AIS Member to attend. The list of confirmed exhibitors for next season’s show is building steadily and the full reveal will take place later this year, James Crabtree, Head of Fashion at AIS comments: “We pride ourselves on creating a professional and relaxed buying environment and it’s important that we continue to offer our visitors a balanced product proposition. “We’re busy planning an exciting Jan/Feb 2024 edition - with plenty of newness to complement our existing exhibitor mix. Buyers can look forward to exploring a trend and insight driven show, which has once again been curated with a focus on independent retailers.” Trend driven IN BRIEF WHO: INDX Woman, www.indxshows.co.uk/indx-fashion/womenswear/womenswear WHERE: Cranmore Park, Solihull WHEN: 31st January-1st February, 2024 INDX WOMAN SHOW INFORMATION Visitors enjoy free onsite parking and complimentary barista coffee and refreshments.
