Margin describes itself as the trade fair exhibition, established to help new labels reach a wider buying and press audience. Held at The Vinyl Factory Gallery in the heart of London’s Soho district close to Carnaby Street.
Held bi-annually with some European resources but consisting mainly of small UK supplier’s offering mainly: t-shirts accessories such as bags, jewellery (jewelry), hats some upscale streetwear, for both the menswear, womenswear retailers. Although a small show we found a good number of innovative t-shirt producers with some great products.
We liked the offerings of:
