Hundreds of pre-scheduled meetings are due to take place across two days at Autumn Fair, the UK’s leading marketplace for wholesale Home, Gift and Fashion. A few companies include: Esoteric London A British independent label based in London, Esoteric London makes outrageously creative handmade jewellery and accessories for the bold and fearless. Established in 2012 by London College of Fashion graduate Chloe Hope King, who wanted to create something fresh reflecting her love for hands on design and manufacture. Bold and bright, Esoteric London’s statement jewels are created in-house, from the initial ideas to the finished products; jewels are designed and manufactured in its South-East London studio. Many pieces are available in limited numbers to ensure the exclusivity of each collection using sustainable, natural, and locally sourced materials where possible, including speciality and recycled acrylics, ethically sourced woods and intricately laser cut leathers. iBeani The iBeani tablet bean bag stand was designed and created after stumbling across a problem – tablet devices just don’t balance, resulting in having to hold them with one hand and navigate or type with the other. Having looked at other tablet stands on the market, nothing seemed to quite match needs or hold the tablet just right when on the lap, compared to the sofa arm, for example, and thus the iBeani tablet stand was born. After months of research, head scratching and prototypes, the iBeani tablet bean bag was created. Alex Clark Alex Clark’s cards, stationery, homeware, and gifts have that familiar feeling of coming home. Cuddle up to fluffy bunnies, snuggle into big bear hugs, and settle down with a pooch napping on your knee. Homi Fashion & Jewels presents a new edition HOMI Fashion&Jewels Exhibition, the event dedicated to the excellence of bijou, jewellery and fashion accessories, returns from 16-19 September at Fieramilano (Rho) with a wideranging and international offer. A central point of the upcoming Fall/Winter 22/23 collections presented at the show is Made in Italy, enhanced by intriguing and contemporary cues, with an important presence of French brands and Greek designers. The event is a must-attend event for operators in the sector who will find the new collections for the coming winter season, within a dynamic context where they can compare and evaluate new business opportunities.

The event will showcase collections of high quality and stylistic value, including the collections by Noshi, with its line of jewellery inspired by Bauhaus modernism, which stand out as true geometries to be worn, and Valentina Laganà, an Italian designer who creates small series in metal or lost-wax casting, whose unique features make their jewellery pieces one of a kind. MimiMuà will present its new fashion accessory and clothing collections, as well as Zag Bijoux, Unique Milano and Lebole Gioielli with a host of new and original items from the bijou universe, to name but a few of the brands present. There will also be many novelties in The incubatorTuttepazzeperbijoux, the area curated by Maria Elena Capelli who, thanks to her constant and punctual scouting activity, proposes jewellery and bijoux that are unique, high quality pieces.
