71 SPRING FAIR  Spring Fair Take a look at the would-be exhibitors of Spring Fair A British brand, Miss Milly will be launching into SS21 with a blaze of colour atop a surging wave of optimism. Over the past eight and a half years, the company has established itself as a reliable company offering beautifully designed jewellery in a palette of colours covering seasonal trends as well as perennial favourites, accompanied by co-ordinating scarves and other accessories. It introduces brand new designs every season and update popular pieces with new colourways. Discussing Spring Fair, Sarah Watmore, founder of Miss Milly, says, “If the lack of shows in 2020 has taught us anything, it’s that they are incredibly hard to replace! No amount of Zooming, printing up nice photos and trying your best to show off a pair of stud earrings in a video comes close to seeing the products in person. But we will do our best! “Our bright star of SS21 is fuchsia pink – a happy, fun colour perfect for a bright start to a new year and season. Our highlight product category is magnetic brooches, which have been a fantastic product for us since AW19. Look out for another 15 new designs available from the new year. “Our prices are kept very reasonable through solid management of overheads and we are continuously working towards reducing plastics and waste. Miss Milly scarves and the majority of our jewellery now comes in compostable packaging. We sell our packaging separately to ensure minimal waste and suppliers and shipments have been consolidated to reduce our freight miles and we are looking at new materials.” T: +44 (0)1905 622 509 E: hello@missmilly.co.uk www.missmilly.co.uk Pintail Candles was one of the first to make tin candles in the UK and the company is still making its famous candles today.
