Attire Accessories - Jan/Feb 2020 (Issue 80)

9 W elcome to the first issue of Attire Accessories for the new decade! As we enter the New Year our thoughts will inevitably be on the now guaranteed exit from the European Union following the recent general election result. This guaranteed exit will inevitably bring about a change to our retail landscape, and to what end is as yet unknown. However, the world continues to turn and the independent high street continues to showcase the best of British, and worldwide, talent. Talking of showcasing talent, this issue offers up a veritable feast of show previews as we embark on yet another year, and another show circuit. So whether it’s Spring Fair, Moda, Harrogate Fashion Week, Jewellery & Watch, Scoop International or Pure London that is your destination of choice – we are showcasing the great and good of our industry, and we’re sure you’ll sniff out a wide range of new items to dedicate shelf space to in your store. And we may be just entering the new year, but I have sunnier climes on my mind with my summer shoe and travel accessories features. Enjoy!
