All the fun of the fair

After the relative calm of the Christmas period, February finds us once again in the thick of trade show season. Luckily, it's not hard to get excited about the forthcoming season when you are gathering information about exquisitely designed accessories, and this bumper edition of Attire Accessories sees even more achingly on-trend jewellery, shoes, handbags and fashion extras than ever before.

We continue our partnership with Pure London, bringing you the official show preview for the Pure Gallery's fashion accessories and footwear areas. Complete with floorplan, brand listings and comprehensive exhibitor profiles, all show-browsing essentials are covered.

There are also extensive guides for Spring Fair and Moda, key events in the fashion trade buying calendar, as well as a sneak peek at the sartorial highlight of the season, London Fashion Week. With a number of new developments and exciting new international names, all of the fairs featured are must-see shows for retailers with their fingers on the pulse.

As well as the jam-packed previews and trusty regular features and interviews, we've rounded up a chic selection of the market's latest purse and wallet offerings to ensure that all accessories bases are covered, whilst this issue's ultra-glamorous competition prize is a luxury mini-break at the British Craft Trade Fair in April, courtesy of show organisers PSM Ltd and the Crown Hotel Harrogate.

Happy reading,

Laura Sutherland,
Editor
