In February, a team Voyage delegation travelled to Birmingham to exhibit at Spring Fair 2023. The event is like a big marketplace of some of the UK’s best and most vibrant home, fashion and gifting wholesalers. Shopkeepers and buyers visit the event in search of this season’s most fabulous and must-have items. Voyage were thrilled to return to the event, presenting a splendid selection of products and enjoying catching up with some familiar and new faces.
We caught up with the team who attended to get the behind-the-scenes scoop on Spring Fair 2023!
Why did Voyage attend Spring Fair 2023?
It is an invaluable opportunity to catch up with new and existing customers; we love showing them our newest collection. Spring Fair brings together a fantastic and creative group of wholesalers, attracting an equally tremendous group of customers.
This gorgeous corner of our exhibit displayed some splendid new Marie Burke products. Artistic, impressive and beautiful!
How do Voyage prepare for Spring Fair?
It takes about two to three months to prepare for the event. We always want to showcase new collections, so we like leaving ourselves plenty of time to prepare. As well as painting new artwork, we refresh old artwork, select product ranges and create samples.
We’re looking forward to introducing new items to our Coastal range - classic white and blue with updated prints and fabrics...coming soon.
What was the highlight of this year’s show?
We were so excited to see the reaction to the new collections and product ranges. The weeks leading up to Spring Fair are always slightly nerve-wracking, just hoping that our customers will be delighted by our new range. So, you can imagine how thrilled the team were to get such a positive reaction to this year’s display. That’s why we do what we do!
What are Voyage most proud of from this year’s display?
The team were incredibly proud to present Voyage Additions, our biggest and newest product range. A really colourful collection, Voyage Additions uses new fabric qualities and stitching techniques to allow the colours to speak for themselves. Launching Spring 2023.
Here’s a sneak peek of our new Voyage Additions range. We love the refined colour palette and mix of patterns. This spectacular display made an impression on our lovely customers.
Did the Spring Fair attendees have a favourite product?
Rowan, in aqua and apple, a new design from the Voyage Additions range was the clear front-runner. We can’t wait for you to see it!
We hope you enjoyed a behind the scenes look at our Spring Fair showcase - keep your eyes peeled on socials for our new collections launching!
