Fabulous fairies
All of the latest trends and inspirational ideas have been captured ready to be released to seasoned buyers which flock to the Heaven Sends stand at Harrogate Christmas & Gift in a few weeks’ time. Central to every theme will be the usual show stopping window display feature that can be recreated to make a stunning visual statement in your own shop. What will it be this year? Maybe a ‘little bird’ will let it slip – so here’s a sneaky peek …
One of these themes – that everyone embraced this year – was less than traditional, but perfectly precious ‘Fairytale’ trend and is set to be a strong look for 2019; as well as ‘not just for Christmas’ making it a hit with customers. The soft pastel shades mixed with metallic gold will be adorning every home throughout the year incorporating the richness of velvets and coupled with a few sparkles it will have all the shoppers reaching for their purses! See what other ‘must haves’ catch your eye this January.
