Melissa’s Pick, Sales Executive
After seeing all the hundreds of ranges on offer at Cosmoprof recently, it became clear that Wellbeing brands need that
something extra to stand out from the competition. MOR Cosmetics for example, grab your attention in an instant with their lovingly created packaging and uniquely blended scents. I particularly love the Belladonna Perfume Oil in its great handbag size whilst the bold colours mean I won’t lose it in the bottom of my Mary Poppins handbag! A great Christmas gift for all my fashion-forward friends. MOR Cosmetics, G5
Julie - Anne’s Pick, Sales Executive

My pick for Top Drawer is Esme Winter who can be found in the Spotted Plus section. I first saw Esme’s work at Top Drawer in
January, and was so impressed I bought a notebook on the spot. Her designs combine beautiful geometric patterns with really bold, yet understated colours. Esme’s range includes notebooks, wrapping paper, as well as one off bespoke pieces. Esme Winter is definitely one to watch for the future. Esme Winter, SPP3

Michelle’s Pick, Senior Sales Executive
From Premiere Class in Paris, to Ambiente in Frankfurt, to London Fashion Week
at Somerset House, the message has been consistent; people are still looking for that statement piece that manages to be versatile enough to appeal to a large market, but one that can still set off an outfit and get everyone talking. After spending a year visiting international fashion and gift shows and researching what is hot with the trade buyers, I am pleased that Top Drawer Autumn’s Fashion Accessories section has an excellent offering of products that meet these demands. One to watch this year is Jenny Sweetnam, who is making her debut to Top Drawer Autumn with her stunning silver and gold jewellery. Her pieces manage to be both classy and edgy at the same time, meaning they are sure to be a hit this season. Jenny Sweetnam, J3A

It’s a London Thing
Stay up-to-date with the latest show news! Find us on Facebook facebook.com/TopDrawerLondon
Follow us on Twitter twitter.com/TopDrawerLondon
Selfridges W1/ Arguably, the world’s most influential department store
Fortnum & Mason W1/ There is more than fine food and wine; the Piccadilly store offers wonderful china and glass and a cook’s shop. Founded in 1707 the store has found a new lease of life after a multi million pound refit
Harrods SW1/ The store is enjoying record sales with massive investment from its new owners; a new golden age for this London icon
Liberty W1/ Re-invented with new style but retaining its heritage
Conran SW3/ Still the benchmark for British style and taste
House of Fraser W1/ See Mary Portas’ new offer of women’s fashion and home accessories
Boxpark Shoreditch E1/ The world’s first pop-up shopping mall, located in the heart of East London.
Brick Lane E1/ Affirmed itself as the number one destination for vintage shopping in London in recent years. Brick Lane’s vintage stores and quirky markets make it a fantastic place to hunt for a bargain, but it’s also just a nice place to relax, have a drink and people watch.
London has always been one of the world’s great shopping destinations, but the current offer is better than ever; department stores have re-invented themselves, street markets found new cult status, London villages have found
new retail vitality and independent stores add individual style. Museums and Galleries like the Tate Modern, the Whitechapel Gallery and the V&A provide an inspirational background of culture, style and design. Top Drawer capitalises on the creative vibe of the city by providing a platform for unique and inspiring products to help your store be at the forefront of the retail industry.
Here are a few must see stores and areas from our black book:
Time Out publishes a wonderful Shopping Guide and much information is available online at www.timeout.com

Product GB & ECO
With a greater acceptance of global environmental issues comes the awareness and benefits that sustainable products bring both to those that have made them and to us all; a result of which is that many of the larger high street stores are now jostling to dominate the ethical market, and so they should.
But where does this rise in well-designed ethical products come from? I believe it’s from smaller designer makers who are inspiring the market on a far larger scale than any of them could ever imagine. When I sit down to review the list of entrants for the Eco Trail I am overwhelmed with the passion, depth of care and lengths that these suppliers go to, to ensure that their products meet their moral ethical and environmental beliefs. You can see this with the likes of Filbert’s Bees’ (C103) wide range of lovingly-made products, but also in the depth of design and contemporary detailing of Space1a Design (A122). For me a true test of a season’s range of eco trail products lies in the number of times I send quick emails to my wife telling her to check out this site or another – products such as those found on Coulson Macleod (C32) which radiate out love, care, personal attention and, dare I say it, soul. I can tell you that this year sees me send more emails than ever before!
No wonder the high street is desperate to capture this outpouring of “better products”- for me it’s this blend of ethical provenance and good design that combine to make a winning product not just in the world of sustainable retail, but for us all on a wider global scale. So go on - check out my pick of this year’s most exciting sustainable products at Top Drawer’s Eco Trail. You can follow Oliver’s Trail at the show by picking up an Eco Trail leaflet upon entry.
Don’t forget, Top Drawer also promotes British-made products with its Product GB Trail. More information on both Trails can be found at www.topdrawer.co.uk.
