Enthusiasm for Spring & Autumn Fair Online Marketplace

Kitchenware, homeware and tableware are among the cavalcade of new products joining the Spring & Autumn Fair Online Marketplace. Receiving an enthusiastic response from buyers, the Marketplace’s first trades took place within 48 hours of going live in May with an initial 50 brands.

“Our trusted Online Marketplace is where buyers can order and replenish between shows,” confirmed Julie Driscoll, managing director, Retail & Fashion at Hyve Group (organiser of Spring & Autumn Fair). She added: “If any retailer is facing an immediate stock issue, I would urge them to look at the stie.”

Suppliers that are already on the Marketplace include: JJ Textiles, Rebecca Pitcher, Fifty Five South, Present Time, David Mason, DRH Collection, Fizz Creations, The Little Dog Laughed, Jomafe, Kate of Kensington, Kikkerland, Wrendale Designs, Rex London and Sass & Belle.”

Karin emphasised that brands remain in control of what buyers can see, and that there is a two-step vetting process for quality retail buyers. A support team is at hand to help suppliers make the most of the Marketplace, from loading up products, to holding meetings online and running email campaigns.
