Bubble London June 2010 Kids Trade Show News. Footfall up 21% at Bubble London Spring/Summer Collection Show
Bubble London took place on June 20-21, 2010 at the Business Design Centre, Islington, UK. Buyers arrived at the show on Sunday and Monday to see a line up of almost 200 brands from 19 countries. The show's increasing international appeal was underlined by international visitor figures up 45% on the June 2009 show.
Almost 100 brands showed exclusively at the show, with 60 brands making their debuts, including CWF brands Timberland, Elle, MFG and DKNY, Helen Gordon, Lässig, Little Loui, Mae, Minti, Nicki Macfarlane, Pint Size, Rockabye-Baby, Small Paul by Paul Frank, Steiff Kids Collection, Troizenfants and Zoocchini.
On Sunday afternoon shrieks of delight could be heard from the Rockefella stand, after the Swedish brand was named winner of the Standout Award for the best-dressed stand at the show with its pirate-themed creation.
Bubble London event director Lindsay Hoyes says, "I'm delighted with the positivity that was evident throughout the show. Brands and buyers really appreciate the Bubble concept. Brands have reported strong sales to quality international and domestic buyers, and as the first show of the season we've got the Spring/Summer 2011 buying season off to a flying start."
The next edition of Bubble London will take place on January 30-31, 2011.
