Santoro to up BLE presence after strong 2016

Company enjoys ‘outstanding’ show and is already planning for growth in 2017.

Santoro is planning to grow its presence at Brand Licensing Europe in 2017, following a strong showing this year.

The company is now in the process of closing deals with various countries for its Gorjuss brand across a variety of categories. These include headwear, fashion accessories, socks, apparel, underwear, pyjamas, footwear, beach accessories, back to school bags, toiletry bags and cushions.

Jo Campbell, general manager at Santoro, commented: “The quality of attendees and results of this year’s Brand Licensing Europe were outstanding for Santoro.

“We’re already planning for next year when we aim to have an even bigger presence.”

Categories of particular interest included outerwear, nightwear and underwear for the UK and Europe. There was strong interest from a number of UK and international retailers including DTR opportunities and cosmetics and toiletries.

Santoro’s new Mirabelle and Willow designs also attracted attention, while its growing range of Kori Kumi products could soon be joined by extensions in the craft category and opportunities in back to school stationery, tableware and melamine/lunchware.
