What sets Who's Next apart
The manufacturer and the buyer who creates the product, in the same hall.
Brands, retailers and concept stores walk Who's Next to buy collections. The sourcing section puts the maker in the same building. We know of no equivalent anywhere else in Europe.
The market
The sweet spot of the market.
The big brands are falling. In their place, a growing number of brands order in the 100 to 500 piece bracket, and they are looking for manufacturers.
They want finished product, quality and handwork, and a partner who can grow with them.
The buyer
