Gift Focus inc Attire Accessories - September/October 2020

71 TOP DRAWER PREVIEW The showmust go on  While the physical shows may not be taking place, the companies set to exhibit at Top Drawer still have the same stellar products to showcase. We highlight some of the industry’s best Introducing the Wonky Bucket Bag, the new addition to Be For Change’s Upcycled Leather Collection. Perfect for carefree outings when the essentials are all you need, the Wonky Bucket Bag is a new zero-waste bag made from small pieces of leather headed to landfill and deadstock fabric. The Wonky Bucket Bag measures just over 4.7 in/12cm in each direction, with a single long strap that you can wear cross-body or tie to create a shorter handle. A hand-crafted leather bag made at the Be For Change studio with salvaged British bovine leather, each basket diverts about 950 square centimetres of leather from landfill and 700 square centimetres of fabric. Each basket is made from off-cuts by company founder Ana and features cuts with different leather grains and small imperfections – meaning that no two baskets will ever look the same. E: hello@be-for-change.com www.be-for-change.com New for 2020 from The Puppet Company is the beautiful ‘Wilberry Families’ collection – a group of popular animals with babies! The babies are attached with a length of ribbon to prevent them getting separated from the parent and have their own pouch to sit in. Made from beautifully soft linen in a muted colour palette, these are an excellent addition to the company’s existing Wilberry collections and are ideal for combining for family groups, and perfect for story time and picnics. Further new additions to the Wilberry soft toys range include the Pets in Baskets collection of mini animals, with their very own baskets to live in and keep them safe. Each animal is made from muted linen fabrics with fantastic attention to detail and complement the company’s existing Wilberry ranges. Baskets also available separately and can accommodate some of our smaller Wilberry ranges as perfect ways to display them in store, with the added advantage of the owner being able to take them home.
