Top Drawer S/S 2018

Last week was a fantastic start to 2018 with Top Drawer. The design-led show is one of my favourites as we can see the trends arriving for the coming seasons.

I especially loved this year's Paper Awards which gave real focus to the best in the Greetings and Stationery industry. Winners Sadler Jones and Hotchpotch captured the mood of 2018 so well. I also hugely enjoyed the paper fest talks and was lucky enough to see the stationery trend session - I'll be following up on these predictions in later posts.

It was a fab day all round catching up with old friends and making new ones. I'm very much looking forward to what 2018 brings.
