4 days of Moda
To align with Autumn Fair at the NEC Birmingham, Moda will now open its doors on 5-8 September 2021 allowing buyers to experience the all-encompassing fashion and retail destination for a whole extra day, with a line-up of exclusive and new brands including Fly London, Hukka Design, Jayley Collection, and Godske, and a headline partnership with the British Footwear Association. The all-new Moda will offer thousands of trend-forward collections across fashion, footwear, jewellery, and accessories, delivering key crossover buying opportunities, additional footfall, and a host of new retailers. Known as the National Footwear Show, Moda is one of the UK’s longest standing fashion trade shows and an essential hub for creativity, collaboration and trading within the fashion community. Simon Lau, Event Director, Moda says: ‘Footwear, fashion, and apparel have spearheaded the strong growth seen in UK retail the past two months with April up 69% according to the Office of National Statistics, so we’re delighted that Moda will form part of a wider fashion destination offering access to exclusive brands and the latest collections, a greater variety of products, inspiring trends and incomparable crossover buying opportunities.’ Visit: moda-uk.co.uk
Back in the saddle
Equestrian-themed walking sticks are the tip of the day from Classic Canes. MD Charlotte Gillan explains: ‘Every autumn we see equestrian-themed fashions popping up and our sales of horse-print walking sticks responds accordingly. ‘This year, we have our Stubbs’ Whistlejacket walking sticks and folding canes, produced under licence from the National Gallery, and our Horses and Ponies of Great Britain and Ireland folding cane, which features recognisable native breeds from the Shire Horse to the Shetland Pony in appealing autumnal shades.’ Not a horse lover? Never fear: Classic Canes stocks over 700 models to suit all tastes and interests so there is a suitable stick for everyone.

Katie Loxton continues to create affordable, high-quality items that aim to add a bit of luxury to everyday life, with a carefully curated collection of vegan leather bags, accessories and gifts. The new AW21 collections stay true to their core values; easy-wear, effortless and refined.
With the new season comes the introduction of luxe tonal colour-ways - think earthy, warm and rich hues - that have been applied across their classic but aspirational bestsellers and new season styles. • Casey collection. Consisting of timeless crossbody bags, shoulder bags and cute matching purses, the collection features minimal yet super chic details - like the elevated gold-tone hardware - meaning these pieces will slot easily into an everyday wardrobe. A handful of the collection is also part of the new Sustainable Style selection, created using RPET-based PU and
RPET polyester lining – made by using plastic bottles. • Cara collection. These new styles take inspiration from bestselling shapes, but have an added, fun modern twist by way of mock-croc textures and chic structured shapes.
So sentimental
The Joma Jewellery AW21 collection is, as always, full of meaning and sentiment. The new season sees the bestselling ‘A Little’ bracelets at the heart, with new sweet styles and updated customer favourites present to mark life’s little (and big!) moments. Joma have introduced some new necklace styles for AW21, extending their much-loved Birthstone range to feature necklaces. Each of the twelve necklaces features a real semi-precious gemstone, which perfectly represents the character traits of the birthday girl.
Trend
Another new-in necklace is Joma’s selection of pretty Positivity Pendants. Made with sentiment at the heart, these gorgeous gold-plated pieces have an innovative spinning function so the recipient can decide what side of the disc she wants to show off; the coloured stone side, or the sweet engraved sentiment side.
The Joma Christmas collection features cute, collectable styles that were made to be gifted. Boxed earrings sets or the festive ‘A Littles’, Joma have something that will see that special someone celebrate Christmas in style.
