Organisers say that the 2023 show created a very optimistic outlook for the industry as international buyers and normality returns and cross-buying opportunities create newness and excitement.
Nicola Meadows, portfolio director of Spring Fair said: “The atmosphere has genuinely been magical over the last four days. The stories we’ve heard from our fantastic visitors and exhibitors has highlighted what an awe-inspiring, diverse, inspirational, collaborative, and friendly community Spring Fair offers.
“The scale of the business being done across all our gift, home and fashion sectors underpins the value of incorporating so much variety and cross-buying opportunities. It is incredible to hear about so many life-changing connections and micro-communities being developed.”
Olivia Hogg from Morleys Store commented: “This will mark my 15th visit to Spring Fair as a buyer and it never disappoints on the offer and atmosphere. I had a jam-packed day with suppliers, existing and new. There were a few hero Fashion Accessory brands at the show including Powder and Zelly.
“As I have multiple stores, I cannot place orders at the show but the brands that can produce a digital favourites report score highly with me. The fair is easy to get to from London and some fab food for lunch down the concourse on the way to The Summerhouse. A must visit for any buyer.”
Thousands of indies, online stores, multiples, department stores, supermarkets and more, including Very Group, Debenhams, Selfridges, Next, Marks & Spencer, Argos, Sainsbury’s, Tesco, Asda, John Lewis, Dunelm, Harvey Nichols, Fenwick, and more visited during the four day show.
Spring Fair 2024 takes place on 4 – 7 February, 2024.
