A mix of established and new names will be filling the
exhibition hall during the 13th edition of *kleine fabriek*. We have already given a sneak preview of the international debutants, but there is also plenty to report from host country The Netherlands.
The
Dutch fashion industry is not an idle one. This is clearly apparent from the participants who have registered for the upcoming summer edition of kleine fabriek. As reported earlier, popular Dutch women’s label SuperTrash will be introducing a children’s line. We’re pleased to report that also Dutch vintage brand Jake Fischer will be introducing a girl’s line entitled Puerl No. 19. At the same time, Bomba is introducing a boy’s line. Brands Didi Girls and Relaunch will also be on exhibit during the event for the first time, while loyal exhibitor Boumy will not only be introducing a unique line this season called Boumy by Hester van Eeghen (a well known local designer), as well as cool leather sneakers. The Dutch Fitz Kids label will be debuting at the kleine fabriek with classic sneakers, and will be joined by yet another new Dutch label called Fair and Cute, a functional and beautiful collection of handmade baby items, in natural colours. It’s produced according to fair trade principles, in keeping with the spirit of the times. Other new Dutch participants in the *home & gift & accessories* section include Charmin’s (jewellery), Engelpunt, Cindysign, Rosehip Company (all three specialising in home & gift) and Poekie (diaries and bags).
As with every edition, there will once again be a large group of steadfast Dutch participants on hand, including collections from Kidscase, Kik-Kid, Salty Dog, Krunk, Monta, Mim-Pie, Beebielove, Carbone and Rags Industry.
A total of around 400 brands will be exhibited, one-third of which from the Netherlands.
