95 Looking ahead As the last issue of the year, we always like to look ahead and see what product will stand retailers in good stead going forward. Which is why we’ve done an Accessory Trends round-up to showcase the wonderful accessories the best of British brands have to offer. With conscious consumerism always being a mainstay consumer trend, we look ahead to the ethical accessories that will be making waves in 2024, as well as helping you put your best food forward with our shoe round-up. And if that wasn’t enough we highlight wallets & purses, and the best belts on the market. Of course, we would be remiss to highlight the plethora of inspiring product available without getting up close and personal with the companies behind them, and this issue we have a bumper company focus delving into the back stories of Vivien Lauren, Pachamama and By Rebecca. And finally, with the shows being a main event of the gift industry year in, year out, we continue to bring you all the news, exhibitors and speaker information relating to the biggest events of the year, and this issue we focus on Harrogate Fashion Week and INDX Womenswear – both amazing shows if you’re looking to bump up your accessory and fashion offerings. All that’s left to say is thank you for yet another wonderful year of support for Attire Accessories, and we can’t wait to bring you even more fantastic insight into the industry in 2024! Thanks for reading!
