HEAVEN SCENT Stand: Hall Q, E87 heavenscent.co.uk Heaven Scent is celebrating its 25 th year in business in 2018 and has been going to Harrogate Home & Gift for more than 20 years. As a family- run business, it still keeps its products fresh and interesting. As product designer Sarah Pettitt says: “We add new lines to our candles and body products every year – mainly out of inspiration, much to the apprehension of staff at Heaven Scent as adding to our product ranges has storage implications! We have so many different businesses that we cater for, and trends in beauty and home fragrance are changing all the time, so we like to offer up-to-date, excellent products.” For further details call +44(0)1225 868 788 or email contact@heavenscent.co.uk GOOD AND ORIGINAL Stand: G–D9 goodandoriginal.co.uk Good and Original is a new, dynamic lighting and furniture design studio that brings together many influences to create unique products. From one-off bespoke pieces to volume retail items, it caters for all markets and clientele. The company is delighted to be bringing its low-energy, no-waste lights to Harrogate this year, including the stunning Maelstrom Light, the centrepiece of the LO- NO range. The versatile Enkel Light, fun Paere Light, tailored Brev Light and striking Kranium Light represent the rest of the carefully considered range. These innovative creations demonstrate the commitment to the production of merchandise that is sustainable, affordable and, most importantly, marketable. Based in Kent, all the products are designed and manufactured on-site in the company’s workshop, meaning the lights are UK through and through. HASSO FASHION Stand: QS-2 wearhasso.com Hasso Fashion is a start up from Newcastle upon Tyne that creates style with a story. Inspired by a love of fashion and cycling, the company designs high-quality shirts and cufflinks for men and women and will be showcasing a new collection of cufflinks this season at Harrogate. “We help our customers to feel special and unique,” says founder Matt Henderson. “It’s about the whole experience, from opening the wooden gift box, moving aside the luxurious fabric and wearing an unusual piece of UK-made jewellery inlaid with fine gems. People are always surprised because they’re not obviously bike chains, so it’s like wearing a small secret in plain sight. It’s a real conversation starter.” Show discounts will be available.
