Another year over and what a 12 months! While consumers get their head around soaring costs and an uncertain future, the accessories industry has remained steadfast in its offering in order to give shoppers a spot of light relief in what has otherwise been a turbulent financial year. The lipstick effect certainly applies to the fashion world, and small pick-me-up, feel-good items such as fashion accessories still factor highly on a consumer’s spend list.
To this end, this issue we are focusing on putting your best foot forward, literally. Check out our round-up of some of the best footwear on the market. Likewise, wallets and purses never go out of fashion and are great, smaller in-store pick-up products to stock. We also head over to Harrogate to give the lowdown on what’s to come during Harrogate Fashion Week. Don’t forget to also check out the industry news pages as well as our new product round-up.
Thank you for all your continued support over the last 12 months – we can’t wait to continue sharing what the industry has to offer over the next year and beyond!

From office to bar, a good quality pair of trainers can work for all occasions and are perennially best sellers. I love this pair from Welligogs, which are both pretty and trend-led.

Every sale from the Studs of Hope collection by ethical jewellery company Vurchoo gives back to local communities and is distributed worldwide by charitable partner Teach A Man to Fish. Founder and designer Alex Angel-Benscher tells us more. "I started Vurchoo seven years ago now. When I was travelling, I was exposed to so many children around the world who had experienced such extreme levels of poverty. I have always had a passion for design and when returning to the UK, I knew I could put my skills to good use and create a truly ethical business that makes people happy while making the world a better place at the same time."
Louise Rideout runs Hertford-based boutique Frankie and Olive, championing sustainable fashion and immersing herself in the local community – a key way for retailers to survive COVID and more. The name Frankie and Olive stands for 'honest and green', it is a fresh, friendly, independent women's boutique in Hertford. Having moved back from living in New Zealand for 16 years where I owned an award-winning shop selling sustainable clothing and gifts, I quickly noticed a gap in the market for a similar business with an ethical ethos. Frankie and Olive believes in Fairtrade, fair wages and safe working conditions for all workers and buys from labels who share these ethics. There are regular deliveries of thoughtfully sourced clothing and homewares offering quality, affordable pieces in natural, sustainable and ethically-produced materials.
