Design-led retail trade show, Top Drawer, will return on 14-16 January with its Spring/Summer 2024 edition offering a collection of over 600 hand-picked brands across nine curated sectors. Taking place at Olympia London, buyers will have the opportunity to discover the latest products, brands and trends, as well as network with the rest of the retail industry.
Following double-digit visitor growth in 2023, this January’s Top Drawer has seen a 10% increase in exhibitor numbers. Particular standouts include the Craft, Greetings & Stationery and Wellbeing sections, which have seen 55%, 25% and 15% expansions respectively.
Furthermore, over 30% of the exhibitors are showing at Top Drawer for the first time this season, including both emerging talent and top brands such as Baa Baby, Banwood and Wigiwama. The newness also continues in the Launchpad sector, which offers the freshest products and suppliers to hit the market.
Event highlights
Each edition of Top Drawer features Retailfest, a series of talks and panels featuring speakers, industry experts and influencers from the retail sector. This season topics will include sustainability, social media, customer experience and more.
Another key service Top Drawer will offer is the Business Hub, a free service that offers visitors the chance to gain personal business advice and actionable tips from industry experts. In private 1:1 appointments, visitors can discuss their current challenges and receive tailored advice and strategies to boost their business this season and beyond.
The Better Trends Co. will also be returning with its trends showcase, unveiling its three top trends for the year ahead curated exclusively for the show.

“We can’t wait to welcome everyone through the doors of Olympia London; with 10% more exhibitors than last year, a whopping 30% of which are brand new to the show, this edition is bigger and better than ever. Coupled with all of the content that we’re putting on across the three days, Top Drawer S/S 24 is the place to be this January – miss it, miss out.”
