A resounding success
The announcement of a new show destination is always exciting, and the introduction of Pure joining Moda at Spring Fair was the collaboration we all needed. Having just attended the show, I can confidently say it was a resounding success.
This elite partnership marks a new chapter for the fashion and accessories markets, with clear signage guiding buyers seamlessly through the hybrid event. From womenswear and footwear to accessories, watches, and jewellery, the diverse product offerings provided buyers with a true fashion feast – both on the aisles and beyond.
Inspired and invigorated, this issue explores must-have fashion accessories to stock, from clutch bags and summer shoes to premium leather goods. We also shine a spotlight on women’s jewellery and the continued rise of industry stalwart Linda Macdonald.
Enjoy the issue!

| Robin Valley opens first store following Start Up Loan success |
| |
Robin Valley, a sustainable jewellery brand founded by husband-and-wife duo Liang Zhang and Wanchong Chen, has opened its first physical store in Manchester's Arndale Centre.
The business completed 54 transactions on its opening day, with takings of over £1,000.
The opening marks a significant milestone in the business's rapid growth since it secured a £15,000 Start Up Loan from the British Business Bank's Start Up Loans programme in 2023. In doing so it crossed a milestone of £1bn of Start Up Loans financing for start up and early stage businesses.
With a strong focus on sustainability, Robin Valley is known for its crafted wooden fashion jewellery, designing and selling earrings, necklaces, key chains and more.

| New campaign launches urging retailers to prioritise accessibility |

As the June 2025 deadline for the European Accessibility Act approaches, Nexer Digital has launched a new campaign, I Matter Too, to raise awareness about the importance of inclusive online experiences.
