Thank you for your enquiry. We have spoken to a cross section of our members and designers and the general consensus here is that if you are more established and have a "wholesale" network then it may be worthwhile but its quite expensive for new businesses.

Also remember retailers may be cautious about buying and may like to see you at the event a couple of times to ensure that you are established enough!

Also suggest you contact them directly for their attendance figures and breakdown of footfall.

Hi Guys,

I have a bit of a dilemma.
I am a new handbag designer and want to start getting some decent orders in from boutiques/stores and increase the awareness about my label.
I am considering renting a stand at Pure Feb 08, but the only stand available in the smallest stand and it is round a corner in the quietest spot.
Has anyone had any experience with this trade show? Did you get a lot of buyers visiting your stand? did you get orders?

Literally, any advise or feedback on your experiences would be sooooo appreciated because I do not have a lot of money to spend and this is costing a lot.

My email is natashak18@hotmail.com if you want to email me.
Thanks all, Natasha x
