Established in 2006, our company is a trading company, agent, distributor and wholesaler of Japanese-made ladies’ shoes. We have built strong partnerships with many leading shoemakers in Japan. Japan is our market and we also sell to Singapore and Vietnam. This is our first-ever exhibition at Hong Kong Fashion Week for Fall/Winter. As it is the largest fashion event in Asia, we are keen to look for new distributors and buyers and develop the Asian market through the fair. We see a lot of potential for our shoes in the Asian market because the sizes of our shoes fit Asian ladies. We are promoting a new collection which is made of a stretchy material to enable painless and stress-free walking. We have met with new buyers from Indonesia, Japan and Mainland China who have made serious enquiries about our shoes.

Established in 1966, our company has earned an international reputation for the production of high-quality denim wear and casual wear. We have been participating in Hong Kong Fashion Week for Fall/Winter for more than 40 years. At the beginning, our products were sold to Europe and the US. Thanks to the fair, we have successfully diversified into different markets such as Mainland China, the Middle East and Southeast Asia. Currently, domestic sales in the Mainland market represent 20% of our business. We have maintained our presence at the fair for so many years because it really provides an important platform for us to look for new buyers and promote our new designs. Each year, we spend a lot of money on decorating our booth in order to attract more new buyers and let them know that we produce high-end products.

Launched two years ago, Fit Joy is a Japanese brand for super lightweight ladies’ shoes. Made of elastic sheep skin, Fit Joy shoes wrap your feet like socks. Our shoes which are comfortable and fashionable can meet the needs and tastes of middle-aged women and elderly women. Our products are widely sold in department stores in Japan. After exhibiting at last year’s Fashion Week for Spring/Summer for the first time, we have our first exhibition at this year’s Fashion Week for Fall/Winter to further promote our brand, look for new buyers and develop overseas markets. With the help of business partners, our shoes entered the markets in Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan last year. As the world’s ageing population continues to grow, we see a lot of potential for Fit Joy shoes.

For tweed jackets, a Russian buyer has requested us to send our existing designs to him. In addition, a new Hong Kong buyer from a scarves retail chain has placed an onsite order for our one-piece skirts and printed tops and the order size is 40-50 pieces per style.

A group of eight designers including me who are graduates of a fashion school in Indonesia won design awards in a local fashion design competition and got this good opportunity to take part in this year’s Hong Kong Fashion Week for Fall/Winter. We are showcasing ready-to-wear clothing for men and women under eight designer labels, namely Amelya Tansades, Asuta, Meiritone, Raegitazoro, Raina, Tin, Todae and Wildan Affitrah. Our designs have attracted a lot of attention from buyers. New buyers from India, Mainland China, the Philippines and the US find Indonesian fashion designs very interesting. This is our first fashion exhibition outside Indonesia. It has been an eye-opening experience for young designers like us. It also provides a valuable opportunity to get feedback from international buyers.

In business for 25 years, Baby Service is an importer and wholesaler of newborn baby clothes in the Czech Republic. Parents in the Czech Republic like to buy 100-per-cent cotton clothing for their newborn babies. The incorporation of nanomaterials into garments will be the next big trend. This is my third time visiting Hong Kong Fashion Week for Fall/Winter. The fair is always a good place for me to see new products, find new materials and new technologies and know more about the latest market trends. Through the HKTDC business matching service, I am happy to have found a very good supplier which produces jackets, overalls, gloves and caps with new materials made from wool and cotton. I plan to buy 200 pieces per item per colour if their quotations are reasonable. In addition, I have found four potential suppliers of unique designs on my own.

With two factories and 170 stores in Thailand, Central Marketing Group is a distributor of four licensed brands and four own brands. We usually source our products through buying agents in Thailand. As we want to increase our price competitiveness, we are keen to source more directly from Mainland China. People in Thailand like casual wear with basic style and good quality. I have come here for the first time to look for denim wear, underwear and shoes. I have found two potential suppliers including one from Bangladesh for the supply of denim shirts and casual T-shirts and the other from Hong Kong for the supply of T-shirts.

In our markets, consumers like fitness wear and activewear because they like outdoor activities. I am particularly interested in two OEM manufacturers from Mainland China which produce swimwear and sportswear. I’ll recommend these two suppliers to importers and distributors which are selling products via eBay. I’ll provide data such as market potential, pricing and sales forecast so that these two suppliers can become business partners of our importers and distributors

Our company operates 15 department stores and 5 outlets in Korea, selling different kinds of consumer goods. This is my first time visiting Hong Kong Fashion Week for Fall/Winter. Colourful, high-quality and comfortable kids’ wear made from organic cotton is popular in the Korean market, so I hope to find this kind of kids’ wear at the fair. I am very interested in a Japanese shoemaker and Bohemian-style clothing for women. We usually import garments through our buying agents in Korea. For each new order, we’ll buy 10,000 pieces. This is just the first day of the fair, so I am sure I can find more potential suppliers of kids’ wear in the next three days. I also find the fashion shows very interesting and inspiring as they are presented in the format of short movies. The QR codes displayed at the booths facilitate buyers to find related information about exhibitors

I also like the designs created by six fashion designers from Indonesia and I’ll consider co-operating with them. I love the Hong Kong fair because it is very interesting and I can find good suppliers.

I am waiting for this supplier to send more samples to my office and I am going to buy more after checking their samples.

It is likely that I’ll buy from them, but I need to check their prices and also ask them to develop samples based on our specifications and designs. I plan to buy 300-500 pieces per model. I like the Hong Kong fair very much because suppliers here can provide better quality and designs. I want to come back again next year.
