What the Retailers Say

Something for everyone...

  Geraldine James, Head Buyer, Selfridges

  Top Drawer is a nicely edited cross section of products. It’s a great visual inspiration and, being in London an ideal and convenient trade show. As the first of the year its timing is perfect for sourcing new products early, specifically seasonal designs for key gift buying periods.

  I would say the best thing about Top Drawer is not only the London location but also thelayout. Individual sectors make the show so easy to navigate so you can instantly find thetype of products you are searching for: it’s as if Top Drawer has done the work for us.

  Top Drawer stands out because it provides real design-led products from niche suppliers. The products are quirkier as the exhibitors tend to be smaller companies if not individuals, giving you exclusive products in a pleasant and compact environment. The atmosphere at Top Drawer is nice and a key draw is how you can clearly see new trends coming through.

  Sue Smart, Head Buyer, Bed & Bath, Harrods

  Top Drawer January is a great show to visit. The timing is key for us as buyers because we look ahead to Christmas for products and trends that could potentially be big sellers during the festive season.

  We find Top Drawer is one of the best shows for finding new companies and products and look forward to returning each season. Over the years, we have discovered some real gems at Top Drawer and it is exciting to visit them at each show to view their new collections and see how they are progressing.

  I always find Top Drawer to be an inspiring show with so much more homeware than expected and with lots of products which we could potentially add to our assortment. There are more design-led, unique products compared to other trade shows and, more importantly, new to market products which you don’t see elsewhere.
