News from British exhibitors

Minnessak

Sustainable fashion bag brand Minnessak said: “All our bags are lovingly remade by hand in London, using recycled, repurposed, reclaimed and ‘deadstock’ materials. All our hardware, zips and trimmings are of the highest quality and are also derived from ‘deadstock’. Sustainability is at the heart of our ethos.”

Shaku

Printed silk scarves and accessories brand Shaku‘s latest collection is inspired by the natural world: “The latest collection is a delicate marriage between intricacy and chaos, just like the natural world. Balanced on a precipice, their scares are subtle in their design, but delicate in their execution. Much like the flora and fauna that inspired founder Shakera’s gorgeous designs, our latest scarves are one of a kind.”

Harris Wharf London

London-based luxury womenswear and menswear brand Harris Wharf London focuses on both design and sustainability: “To further reduce our environmental footprint, we use a digital cutting system allowing maximum efficiency in fabric consumption and reducing the fabric waste. Harris Wharf London produces to order, meaning there is little leftover stock.”

Kate Sheridan

Accessory, handbag and womenswear brand Kate Sheridan is introducing its AW24 collection: “Kate Sheridan creates contemporary leather goods and clothing, manufactured in the UK, using vegetable tanned leathers and responsibly sourced high-quality materials. Based in East London, the brand is excited to introduce you to their AW24 collection, photographed in their local neighbourhood of Clapton and in one of their bag makers factories in Margate.”

Lalage Beaumont

Handbag and womenswear brand Lalage Beaumont focuses on preserving tailoring skills in the UK: “Making so close to where our products are designed, enables us to have control and flexibility so that we can offer fast turnaround when required, we are on hand to resolve problems, and most importantly, we know that the workforce producing our products is paid fairly and working in safe conditions. Carbon footprint is obviously also kept to a minimum,” said Lalage Beaumont.
