Hot fashion
for gift retailers
Joe Davies has launched its own exclusive sustainable fashion brand
Sugarlane is the name of a new brand developed by Joe Davies to make great fashion available for independent retailers.
The collection has been designed in the UK and created with our planet in mind. Joe Davies has worked with its partners to support sustainable fashion initiatives and ethical trading. The viscose and cotton is sourced responsibly and, wherever possible, the polyester has been made from recycled plastics.
Joe Davies firmly believes that fashion should not cost the earth and wants to help the planet by trying to slow fast-fashion down. This exciting collection offers a complete retail solution: practical size solutions and the choice of ordering by design to build your own unique collection or by capsules of co-ordinated colours/styles all ready to go. This is a fabulous opportunity for independent retailers to break into the fashion market and take sales from an area they previously may not have considered.
Many of Joe Davies’ customers already stock its highly successful Equilibrium collection of jewellery and fashion accessories and Sugarlane will sit perfectly alongside this range. There are a host of new Equilibrium collections for S/S.
Making a statement is the pretty Pastel Collection necklaces, earrings and bracelets, all featuring beautiful hues that are sure to add style and sophistication to your summer wardrobe. Colour affects our mood and these pastel pieces will induce a feeling of optimism - so whether you feel like dressing up or going casual, you’ll be sure to make an entrance wherever you go. You can dive into summer with the Equilibrium collection of tote bags. Stylish floral prints, modern stripes, and retro patterns in a vast array of colours, shapes and fabrics, make them the perfect accessory for a lazy day on the beach or a busy day at the office.
Although Joe Davies has delved into the world of fashion, it is well known as one of the UK’s leading gift suppliers, with one of the largest gift collections in the industry. Its Village Pottery collection of quirky ceramic houses is a constant favourite with retailers and customers alike. The range comprises oil burners, tea-lights, lanterns, planters and money boxes. Brand new for 2022 are quirky robin and penguin planters, tea-light gonks and vases - all with the same rustic style finish that has earned the collection its huge popularity.
Decorative figures play a significant role in the design of any room, as they often create character and emphasise the style of the décor. The elegant Family Tree collection of figurines is both meaningful and romantic and embraces the love of family and relationships. The soft cream and grey colours sit beautifully with current home décor trends, bringing a loving context to your room as well as adding interest and personality.
Planters are a huge trend this year with greenery being key to home décor. The whimsical Face Planter collection from Joe Davies will add fun and character to any room. Quirky planters featuring male and female bespectacled faces with bright colourful glazes and a matt biscuit finish are sure to add personality to your home. Throw in a spiky plant for funky hair and you have a real talking point!
With the introduction of the Sugarlane fashion brand, Joe Davies really is a ‘one stop’ shop for all your gift, jewellery and fashion requirements. With a minimum order value of just £100 for carriage-paid orders and a ‘little and often’ ordering system, this really is an opportunity not to be missed.
Joe Davies’ award-winning, friendly team look forward to welcoming you to their Manchester showroom. Alternatively you can visit www.joedavies.co.uk or call 0161 975 6300.
