3 Fresh insights Happy New Year and welcome to the January/February issue of Attire Accessories! As we step into 2025, I’m excited to present our first edition of the year, packed with fresh insights, trends, and opportunities to inspire and invigorate your business. As ever we’re turning our focus to some exciting developments in the industry, starting with a spotlight on the highly anticipated Pure x Moda event. This collaboration promises to deliver a unique platform for buyers and brands alike, with an expanded showcase of fashion and accessories that blends the best of both worlds. Not only are we focusing on the event itself, but we have a bumper showcase of the exhibitors showing their wares - from industry stalwarts to new companies dipping their toe in the water. In this edition, we also delve into the world of childrenswear. As this sector continues to grow and evolve, we’re shining a light on some key pieces. And with travel continuing to bounce back, we’re also exploring the ever-popular category of travel accessories. This issue isn’t just about products and trends – it’s about celebrating the creativity, resilience, and innovation that make the accessories sector so vibrant. As always, we hope to be your trusted resource and partner in navigating the year ahead. Enjoy the issue!
