 “Founded in 1994, Grey Stone Group produces a wide range of fashion accessories in Russia. Our products ranging from belts and wallets to bags, backpacks, scarves, gloves and sunglasses are sold under five own brands. We are now expanding into fashion items for children and teenagers. This is our second-year visit to Hong Kong Fashion Week for Spring/Summer to source new products. So far, we’ve found about 10 new suppliers from Hong Kong and the Chinese mainland for different items such as socks, T shirts, backpacks and children’s wear. They include Haining Had Socks Company Limited, Fujian Province Jinjiang City Changtai Garment Knitting Co., Ltd, and Hong Kong exhibitor Fashion Highlight Limited whose children’s wear under the Blue Seven brand is really nice. We hope to conclude some orders within three weeks for our next season’s sales. Initial orders generated from this fair are estimated at US$30,000 to US$40,000. This fair is an excellent sourcing place where we can find many interesting products at reasonable prices.”

 “St. Malo Wang is a leader in e-shopping and TV-shopping for fashion items in Taiwan. We are visiting Hong Kong Fashion Week for Spring/Summer for the first time to find new suppliers. So far, we have identified three to four new suppliers from Hong Kong and the Chinese mainland for different items such as ladies’ blouses, shorts, legging and waterproof jackets. We are in talks with one of the Chinese mainland suppliers to buy a selection of ladies’ jackets and hopefully will conclude a deal by August. The potential order is expected to involve about 10,000 pieces with an estimated value of US$200,000 to US$300,000. Further negotiation will be conducted with other suppliers with product shipments due early next year. We are still looking around at the fairground for suppliers of fashion accessories. There are some interesting items on offer at the exhibition and the fair really opens up new business opportunities for us.”

 “Smith Garment is participating in Hong Kong Fashion Week for Spring/Summer for the first time to promote our brand of SAAMU. Our collections are developed with a multi-faceted design concept that blends various cultures, fabrics and prints together into contemporary wear for men and women. This fair is an excellent platform to showcase our latest designs. We’ve got a lot of interest from buyers including customers from USA, Hong Kong, Korea and Japan. A Hong Kong retailer has already placed an order worth over 1 million baht for a selection of styles. The first batch of products will be shipped next week. This is a successful exhibition that allows us to raise our brand exposure. We’re pleased with the results and would like to exhibit here again.”
Thanagorn Sittiwongwanich, Chief Marketing Officer/Founder, Smith Garment Factory Company Limited, Thailand (Booth no.1B-E16) |
 “Studio di Perla is a designer brand for ladies’ wear in Korea. Our collections come in a simplistic design with much emphasis on individual difference, enabling women to add a personal touch to create own style. Our designs are mainly in black and white colours catering to everyday needs of women. In business for about three years, we’ve established strong sales presence in Korea. This is our second-year participation in Hong Kong Fashion Week for Spring/Summer to expand our international business. At our debut last year, we successfully secured some new customers from Hong Kong, Malaysia and Australia. The response is even better this year. Some buyers from different places including Italy, Malaysia and Taiwan have visited our booth and expressed strong interest in our designs. Talks are underway for sample orders. I really love this fair as we can find many overseas customers all under one roof. That’s why we would like to exhibit here to drive our business growth.”
Baek JinJoo, CEO, Studio di Perla, Korea (Booth no.1E-A08) |
 “With a history of 15 years, Little Match Girl designs and produces contemporary ladies’ wear for women’s everyday needs in Singapore. Our collections come in minimalist and solid colours while we use breathable fabrics to enhance the comfort. We are making our debut at Hong Kong Fashion Week for Spring/Summer to look for international customers. We’ve attracted a good amount of attention from overseas customers. At least five buyers from Hong Kong, Taiwan, the Chinese mainland, Malaysia and Spain have expressed serious interest in carrying our brand or purchasing our collections. We expect to take at least two months to negotiate further with those buyers to conclude business cooperation. This fair has helped us gain more exposure and establish contact with more overseas customers. Initial response has been positive and marks a good start to fuel our business expansion.”
