As the show continues to grow, buyers will be inundated with inspiration from new brands, with the floor plan currently made up of 25% new to Top Drawer. This list includes A Beautiful Story, ASPEN MATCHES, Atelier18, by Molly & Izzie, Charlotte’s Web Jewellery, Hippychick, Lilly Pilly, Rosie Made A Thing, Risdon & Risdon, WE ARE PROPER GOOD and Wyle Blue World.

Here they will find smaller emerging brands, such as Andhand, Àníké TLC, Arcana, Candlemeleon, Dinosuit, Dunked, FableWood, Lucky Ink, Mindful Champs and Studio Lowen, among others. Meanwhile, the Gift sector is where scented candles sit alongside classic tableware, fashionable accessories and much more.
