Gift Focus - Jul/Aug 2019 (Issue 114)

107 HOME & GIFT CAVENDISH FRENCH Stand: DP1-B1 W: cavendishfrench.com Cavendish French is an independent designer of contemporary jewellery with stunning collections of sterling silver and stone-set pieces. The company works in partnership with designers and manufacturers across the world, creating luxurious designs that combine quality, style and longevity at an affordable price. Stocking a wide range of jewellery, the company offers something to fit a variety of different retail environments from traditional jewellers to designer gift shops, boutiques, bridal shops and antique retailers. Retailers are supported with branded boxes, point of sale materials and in- store displays to help maximise sales. There’s also a low minimum order that allows retailers to try Cavendish French’s jewellery in their outlets without a large financial commitment. The 2019 collections include bold, hand-crafted artisan statement pieces and finer everyday designs in plain 925 sterling silver. A distinctive copper and silver line has also been added, along with a rose-gold plated collection that offers an affordable alternative to real gold. Sterling silver is plated with rose gold to create quality jewellery handcrafted in a range of designs. Also on show is the Starlight collection of micro-set pave cubic zirconia and silver jewellery, almost indistinguishable from fine diamond jewellery without the price tag or the worry. The pieces are perfect for every day wear or to take on holiday. The exclusive Celestial collection also sees new additions in time for Home & Gift, with lovingly designed sterling silver and rose gold pieces. CORINNE LAPIERRE Stand: DP1-B24 W: corinnelapierre.com Corinne Lapierre, known for delightful felt craft kits and regular appearances on Create & Craft TV, will be exhibiting at Home & Gift for the second year. Corinne said: “This is such a lovely show. Being in the middle of summer and in a beautiful location gives it a very distinctive feel. Everyone seems releaxed and happy to take their time. For us, nothing beats seeing people walk over to our stand with a big smile as they discover our creatures.” Corinne’s designs have a charming and folky look that appeals to adults and older children, packaged in a windowed gift box. The company’s expanding range of felt sewing and embroidery kits are designed and made in Yorkshire using high-quality materials. The kits contain everything needed for the project, including soft wool mix felt, DMC embroidery threads, toy filling, needle, ribbon and very clear instructions, making them ideal for crafters of all abilities. Bestsellers include an embroidered needle case and adorable penguin (pictured). POS and sample packs are available with every trade order.
