Two new brands will take centre stage at Harper Dennis Hobbs’ (HDH) stand (H35, Yellow Village) at the TFWA World Exhibition & Conference (24-28 October).

The London-based agency, which specialises in airport consultancy, retail advisory services and wholesale distribution, is showcasing its wholesale brands and travel retails services for the first time at the event.

HDH will introduce visitors at its 45sq m stand to sustainable footwear from Loci and diamond jeweller Diamanti Per Tutti.

RAFT OF BRANDS ON SHOW

New to travel retail, Loci are premium vegan sneakers made from recycled plastic and fully sustainable materials.

Every pair removes 20 bottles from landfill or the ocean with 10% of the profits from each pair donated to protecting and preserving sea life.

“The clean, understated styling and subtle use of the signature logo makes these sneakers ultra-desirable as well as kind to the planet,” according to HDH.

Meanwhile, Antwerp-based contemporary jewellery firm Diamanti Per Tutti is already well established in its home country and in Asia and has appointed HDH to promote the brand’s collections and travel retail exclusive ‘Wanderlust’ range to the industry.

During the Tax Free World Association summit, HDH will also spotlight existing collections from its key wholesale brands: GFL, de Mamiel, Non-Gender Specific, Heidi Klein, Skinny Dip and EL&N.

Simon Black, Executive Director for Travel Retail, HDH said: “We are delighted to support the TFWA and the travel retail industry by exhibiting at TFWA Cannes for the first time this year, and we are excited to share our wholesale brands and airport and retailer advisory services at this iconic show.

“It will mark the return of the travel retail industry to live events, and we look forward to meeting and connecting with old friends and new partners after such a long separation.”
