Industry offerings

This issue we also take a look at the latest eyewear to market, as well as children’s accessories, the best travel accessories to stock, and items for men.  

Of course, it wouldn’t be an issue of Attire Accessories without throwing the spotlight on an exciting company making waves in the industry, and this issue we get to grips with Caliz London and its lustworthy jewellery offerings.  

We hope you love the issue, and as ever if there’s anything you’d like to see more of, please do get in touch!

Handmade with love
 
Offering high quality handmade knitwear all year round, Pachamama products are inspired by the natural world, classic knitting techniques, colour and symbol. Following our success fellow traders wanted to sell our lovely 100% wool knitwear too and so our wholesale business evolved. In 1996 we started fairly trading handmade wool clothing, accessories and homeware made in Nepal. Since those early days we have developed strong and sustainable relationships with our suppliers who are small family run businesses. We have been loyal to our original philosophy on fair trade, ensuring continuous and solid economic and social growth for a large number of talented knitters and artisans and all the people involved in production.
