The home of handpicked design, curated with retail buyers in mind will be returning to Olympia London from the 15-17 January 2023 when Top Drawer opens for its Spring edition. The retail community will be able to explore the show’s design stories across 9 exciting sectors all with creativity and passion at the heart of them. Buyers will be able to source from over 400 carefully curated brands across the 9 sectors, with 25% of the brands being brand new to Top Drawer along with endless product launches throughout the show.
Top Drawer knows how important it is for buyers to meet brand owners and teams face-to-face, as nothing beats the ease of in-person ordering when curating their new season collection. The show offers visitors the opportunity to get a real feel for the products and what the show’s brands have to offer. Buyers will be able to source from trusted favourites and emerging brands new to the market, as Top Drawer facilitates a handpicked brand and product mix which can’t be matched by any other show.
Source from established brands like; 1973, Abrams & Chronicle, Aery, Best Years, Bookspeed, Caroline Gardener, CHALK, Estella Bartlett, Forma House, Inside Out Toys, Jellycat, Lifeguard Press + Ban.do, Ohh Deer, Suck UK, Talking Tables, The Art File, Toasted Crumpet and more.

For visitors who are looking for only the newest brands, then they need to visit the show’s Launchpad area. Each year Top Drawer teams up with University of the Arts London to collaborate on their Launchpad sector where they showcase a selection of the university’s graduates along with other new brands who are just starting out, giving visitors the chance to be some of the first to explore and shop their ranges. The products in the sector vary from jewellery to candles, to homewares, to stationery, to toiletries and more. Visitors will be able to discover new brands such as Frond Design, Happy Little Doers, Hands & Hearts, Horosoaps, Lagom Handmade Glassware, Lucky Ink, MAMO, Mindful Champs, Sarah Joy Jewellery, Studio Lowen, The Neighbourhood Threat plus many, many more.
Alongside sourcing for their Spring/Summer collections, visitors will also be able to gain precious insights from a host of industry experts in our RetailFest seminar programme. This season’s visitors will be able to hear from high street giant Cath Kidston discussing the collaborative retail environment of 2023, plus Google will be hosting a Digital masterclass that small business owners won’t want to miss, along with creative insights from The Conran Shop’s Campbell Thompson, plus many more.
On the RetailFest stage, visitors will also be able to go behind the brand with creators from our Craft sector in their Meet the Maker sessions. Visitors will have the opportunity to learn how the handmade pieces are designed and innovatively created as a selection of Makers talk through their process. Visitors can pick up valuable information about the Maker’s products which they can then weave into their own marketing and conversations with their customers when selling the products.
Registration is now open for London’s premium retail show and Top Drawer’s Spring edition promises to be another great show with over 400 brands to source from plus stand-out speakers visitors won’t want to miss! Head to the Top Drawer website now to register for your badge.
