The UK’s largest childrenswear trade show, INDX Kidswear, is gearing up for another record-breaking event in February 2020. Here’s what’s in store.

 

The upcoming edition of INDX Kidswear on 9-10 February 2020 builds upon another successful year for the trade show. The event’s June 2019 edition broke all previous records, seeing all four of the showrooms utilised for the first time at a spring/summer event.

Subsequently, this increase in showroom space has allowed for the brand offering to grow by 25%. There has also been an 18% increase in pre-show registrations and a 15% increase in buyer attendance.

 

 

Commenting is show organiser, Varsha Chohan. “Brand and buyer loyalty are just some of the many aspects of the event that we are very proud of. The increase in buyer attendance and returning brands are a reflection of the success of our shows and therefore the importance of INDX Kidswear in the trade show calendar.”

The February 2020 event will see over 90% of the brands from June 2019 opting to return.

As a result the show has been a sell-out since August and has an extensive waiting list. Long term exhibitors and strong ambassadors for INDX Kidswear include Toby Tiger, Kissy Kissy and Kite. Also, Dandelion Clothing, Mayoral and Blue Seven.

 

 

Alongside key returns, the February 2020 edition will also host 40 new brands.

Within the show’s growing boyswear offer will be Lyle & Scott, U.S. Polo Assn., Threadboys and MiTCH, which will join returning brands Jack & Jones and Hype. The footwear selection is being enhanced with the addition of Geox, Jex, Sass + Me and Start-Rite.

Also new are girlswear brands Little A, Elle, NONO, Wish + Wonder, Lily & Grace and Marc Ellis alongside babywear brands Lily & Mortimer, P&C Piecci, Sofija and Angel Dear.

 

 

Returning this season after successful debuts include Cambrass, Lister & Bruce, Lola & Blake, The Middle Daughter, Billy Loves Audrey and Beatrice & Bee. The show’s popular christening and special occasion category also continues to be well represented, with returns including Caramelo Kids, Beau KiD, Sevva and Kidz Corner.

 

 

INDX Kidswear is also embracing the growing interest of consumers for more eco-friendly fashion.

From fabric sourcing through to packaging and materials, brands at the show offering a more sustainable choice include Turtledove London (pictured top), OceanBluu and Kidsbury.

INDX Kidswear’s offer has always been a mix of UK and international brands. However, each event has seen the international buyer quota increase too.

As word spreads of the show’s unique buyer and business focused approach and strong air and rail transport links, attendance from European buyers continues to grow. Recent events have attracted buyers from as far as Israel, Brazil, Australia, South Africa, Nigeria, Doha and Abu Dhabi.

 

 

INDX Kidswear’s opening times are 9am-6pm on Sunday 9 February and 9am-5pm on Monday 10 February. The show will also host informal drinks on 9 February. Click here for visitor registration.
