10 Takeaways from Top Drawer Spring /Summer 2023 : Podcast 119

Big brands, new finds and total inspiration and that’s just for starters.

Top Drawer is the UK’s leading design-led trade show and as such is a great place to find new brands, entrepreneurs and pure inspiration. I had such a fabulous time when I went to the Spring Summer 2023 Top Drawer earlier this week. I want to share all the takeaways with you while they’re still so fresh in my mind. I hope you feel as inspired as I was but the end of the day.

Enjoy
