World exclusive product launches, a new food emporium, live demonstrations, daily fashion shows and an engaging seminar programme sat alongside a showcase of design-led products spanning Home, Gift, Fashion and Craft sectors at Top Drawer in January.
"Our edit of the best brands and compelling new content created a must-attend event," says event director Alejandra Campos. "Over the three days, Top Drawer was buzzing with a variety of UK and international buyers, from fashion boutiques and gift shops to lifestyle stores and top multiple retailers. Feedback has been extremely positive and we are already looking forward to delivering the next edition!"
Home presented a global cross-section of products. A wealth of young independent designers, including Marta Bordes, winner of the 2016 confession of a design geek (COADG) bursary, sat amongst established brands such as Skandium, which presented the spring-summer 2016 Marimekko collection, and Joseph+Joseph, which introduced an ingenious stackable storage containers with datable lids.
The next Top Drawer will take place at Olympia London from 11-13th September.
