Best of Britannia, the trade and consumer show which

celebrates established and emerging British talent, has confirmed that it will return for its second edition this October and has already signed up a number of fashion brands.

Taking place from October 3 to 5 at Farmiloe Building in Clerkenwell, London, the showcase features companies that design and manufacture in the UK, and for 2013 this will include footwear brand Jeffrey-West, accessories label Age of Reason, and premium brand Archie Foal, as well lingerie label Ayten Gasson, accessories brand Taisir Gibreel and footwear brand Justin Deakin.

Show founder Antony Wallis, said: “We are very proud of what Best of Britannia achieved in 2012 – we could not have asked for a better calibre of exhibitor or visitor.

“In 2013 Best of Britannia has fine-tuned an already exceptional brand list and nurtured an even greater awareness from the UK business communities through to the discerning consumers that care and are captivated by the provenance of quality UK products.”

Jeffrey West co-founder Guy West, added: “Eclectic, individual, maverick – these are the words that sum up Best of Britannia for Jeffery West.

“It is the exhibition that breaks the mould of the single-genre trade show. After a great first year, the fantastic festival atmosphere will only be better – we are very much looking forward to showcasing our new collection.”
