Welcoming an Upbeat Buyer Footfall | INDX Woman Summer Showcase

INDX Woman returned to its Solihull exhibition venue, Cranmore Park, from 20-22 July 2025, welcoming an upbeat footfall of buyers from across the UK and Ireland.

Over the three-day event the bustling exhibition halls welcomed over 120 brands, and the showcase was headlined by newcomers such as Guess and French Connection, and supported by an unmissable core of key returning exhibitors including Joules, Fransa, b.young, Joe Browns, Brakeburn, Lily & Me, Alice Collins, Pomodoro, Godske Group, JJXX, JDY, PIECES, ONLY, VERO MODA and VILA.

Making their INDX debut, exhibitor Michael Shalders from Love Brands representing Guess said:

We've opened new accounts and had some positive conversations with prospective customers. You have to be here to generate business.

Delighted with this season’s selection of new brands, was regular INDX Woman attendee Maria Bevan from Choo Choo Boutique:

It’s really nice to see new companies here, [such as] French Connection and Guess – it is nice to see new things.

First time visitors from No 1 High Street, also praised the location and the environment of INDX Woman:

This was my first time at INDX, because one of my suppliers asked if I was going and advised me to attend. It is closer than other trade shows and is much more accessible. It is very busy but chilled out for a trade show.

Meanwhile, repeat visitor Zoe Read from Zor Boutique said:

We have always attended INDX because of its smaller and intimate nature. We are here to write orders, and to see what other people are buying, too. It's also a good opportunity to speak to other business owners and see how trade is.

The show’s convenient Midlands location continues to prove a hit with exhibitors and visitors alike with Will Brown, Joe Browns commenting:

The retailers we saw were very good and placing orders. INDX Woman is the perfect location, as we can get customers from the south and north in.

BDA Trend Presentations

This season, attendees were treated to exclusive SS26 trend presentations from leading forecasting agency BDA London, whose Trend Hub platform is trusted by major retailers and brands across the industry.

Specialising in translating trend insights into actionable guidance, the BDA team selected their top picks and must-haves from across the collections on display at the show and were on hand to offer retailers advice and guidance on the season ahead.

Networking Social

Visitors and exhibitors joined the INDX team for the after-show Networking Social, which took place onsite at The Loft bar and eatery after the show on the Sunday evening.

An informal opportunity to get together and catch up with drinks, canapes, and live music, the event was well-attended and enjoyed by all.

Retailers visiting the show on Monday were also treated to an award-winning Lanza's ice-cream - a great way to celebrate the summer season 2026 collection.
