So, whatever the occasion, you’ll have something to keep your customers happy, and maybe even buy something for yourself too! HEAVEN SCENT INCENSE LTD Stand: 3R30-S31 heavenscent.co.uk Heaven Scent Incense has produced vegan friendly candles since it began making candles back in the ’90s. Heaven Scent’s creative director Sarah Pettitt comments,“Then it was a very niche word used by what people called ‘alternatives’, which we’re happy to say were our customers. “Some 20 years later at our last trade show, however, I noticed a marked change, nearly every customer asked ethical questions about our products, lots asked about our vegan-friendly products, and people wanted to talk about sustainability and plastic-free alternatives. It was a very interesting show – we’re glad to say that we as a company have been ahead of the curve and are able to meet the demands of the new emerging ‘conscious’ buyer. By autumn 2019 a new vegan range became available that consists of candles, reed diffusers and soaps which will have the word ‘vegan’ branded on them. We’re currently developing a shampoo bar that will address the issues for many customer’s seeking a ‘plastic free’ alternative. In the future we will hope to address the issues of plastic packaging in our body products.” See us at Spring Fair Birmingham Hall 1 Stand H18 2 nd - 6 th February 7 Howard Terrace, Brighton, East Sussex, BN 1 3 TR Tel: 01273 776415 Email: info@talbotfashions.com www. talbot fashions .com Call now for our catalogue or place your order online at: www.talbotfashions.com Minimum order just £25 (Ex VAT & P&P) By Talbot Fashions Beautiful Natural Paua shell T a l b o t F a s h i o n s 40 y e a r s t r a d i n g Est. 1980
