Ear floaters and crawlers, chokers, and layered necklaces are some of the on-trend fall styles exhibitors at the Mode Accessories Show will be showcasing come this August.

Other styles to look for include:

• edgy and bold pearl designs;

• add-on beads, charms, initials, and name plates;

• sleek and geometric metal designs; and

• wearables, such as smartwatches.

Outside of jewellery, exhibitors will be highlighting:

• two-handled satchels with detachable cross-body strap;

• wristlets and wallets on a string; and

• elaborately bejewelled headbands.

“Fashion accessories are the ultimate fast fashion,” said Alice Chee, co-owner of the show. “They are head-turning quick fixes to ho-hum looks. A scarf or a piece of jewellery can elevate style; a hat or sunglasses for attitude; hosiery combo for edginess; and handbags and shoes are coveted items. According to the NPD Group, a market research company, accessories are not just impulse purchases anymore—many of us are buying them as planned purchases.”

To help buyers and suppliers stay connected after or between shows, Mode Accessories launched www.modeonline.ca[2], a site where companies can set up their own digital platform to ‘exhibit’ their products.

Verified buyers can shop the site and put products of interest into their order query cart. The query is then sent to the supplier to follow up and finalize the order. The service is free to approved buyers and available by subscription to wholesale suppliers.

The Mode Accessories Show is a trade event and not opened to the public or anyone under 16.

To register, visit www.mode-accessories.com[3], select ‘Fall Show’ and then ‘Buyer Registration.’ Buyers can also register in person at the show. Two pieces of business identification are required for verification whether registering online or in person.

Held at the International Plaza Hotel in Toronto, the Mode Accessories Show takes place Aug. 9 to 11.
