Following direct industry response from both suppliers and retailers, INDX Kidswear is gearing up to hold its first post-lockdown exhibition on 4-5 July; delivering the UK’s only in-person kidswear trade show of 2021.

Working with event venue Cranmore Park, the INDX team has planned the show in line with the Covid restrictions that were in force on 17 May. Therefore, despite the delay in the roadmap to unlocking, the show will go ahead as scheduled.

The event will provide a safe space for buyers and brands to meet face to face.

Much has changed since the last edition of INDX Kidswear, which was held just before the first lockdown in February 2020. Despite digital platforms such as Zoom and Teams providing a temporary solution to buying and selling, the INDX community is keen to resume in-person appointments in a trade show environment.

With many countries and regions still under some degree of restrictions, the July event will be smaller than previous editions. However, buyers can expect a no less significant exhibitor list featuring market-leading brands showcasing their latest collections.

 

 

Demand for ‘live’ networking and seeing product ranges in the flesh is reflected in INDX Kidswear’s healthy pre-show buyer registrations.

Key returning brands attending the upcoming show include Steiff; Kite; A*Dee; Lilly & Sid; Little Green Radicals; Chipmunks; Beau Kid; Mintini Baby; Pigeon; Kissy Kissy; Angel’s Face; Kidiwi; Sevva; Jose Varon; Bowtique; Everything Must Change; Daga and Sheldon.

Amid the show’s raft of debut brands, meanwhile, is Pan con Chocolate; Beech London; Deolinda; Little A; Verity Jones, and Pompetitpom, to name but a few.

Opening times for INDX Kidswear are 09.00-18.00 on Sunday 4 July 2021 and 09.00-17:00 on Monday 5 July 2021. To view the show’s safety measures, please click here.
