INDX Kids – Looking Ahead to Another Sell Out Show

INDX Kids is set to return to Cranmore Park on 2 and 3 July and visitor registration is open: www.indxshows.co.uk/indx-fashion/kidswear/registration

As an integral part of the INDX portfolio of trade shows which is celebrating its 10-year anniversary this year, INDX Kids is organised by Associated Independent Stores (AIS), the UK’s leading buying and services group for fashion, home, and leisure.

Curated by buyers, for buyers, with a business driven focus, INDX Kids presents the biggest selection of brands in the UK across apparel, footwear, and accessories, including an extensive representation of European labels – from countries including Turkey, Poland, Spain, and Portugal.

INDX Kids is brought together by a team of buying and retail experts whose knowledge and experience combine to ensure visitors enjoy a commercial edit of suppliers, and a trend-driven product presentation.

Unique to the market, the show remains the must-visit calendar event for all pre-school and childrenswear stockists.

From leading lifestyle labels, and sustainable collections, to showcasing the industry’s latest, new and emerging talent, INDX Kids promises an unrivalled selection of exhibitors and delivers a warm and friendly buying environment.

Following the well-publicised success of the last edition of the show which took place in January, 85% of attending exhibitors have already re-booked for the upcoming show in July, for which, at the time of going to press, there are less than ten stands remaining.

To date, 130 brands have confirmed their places at the summer show, and ten new brands have signed-up to make their exhibition debut.

The list of newcomers will include Pip & Henry who create responsibly produced shoes for children, Fable & Bear - an environmentally conscious, organic cotton babywear range, and Peggy Green, specialising in traditional children's clothes, from hand smocked dresses to perfectly piped trims.

Also exhibiting for the first time are Harris Kids, with their luxury children’s loungewear, and Erve who are the official licensees for a portfolio of brands including of PAW Patrol, Pokémon, My Little Pony, Disney Frozen, and Star Wars.

James Crabtree, Head of Fashion at AIS believes the future of the childrenswear industry is bright, and is looking forward to bringing suppliers and retailers together once again:

“The Kidswear industry is very friendly, and the shows are always enjoyable - even from an organising point of view!

“Over the last couple of shows we’ve started to welcome an influx of new stockists, new retail businesses, and new to market suppliers, which is a great indication of the future.

“We’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their support and for continuing to help evolve the show into being the UK’s biggest dedicated Kidswear event.”
