Back From Pure



Well Autumn Winter 09 buying has begun.


This weekend staff of NP2WENTY6 made their way to London to visit Pure to view the up and coming collections that will start hitting the high street in July and August.

Despite weather warnings and both seven crossings being shut down due to the recent bad weather. Buyers for NP2WENTY6 still braved the journey ahead excited to see what offerings Pure would have this year. I must admit at times we did think this was not a good idea after we hit Swindon and the M4 was cut down to two lanes due to snow still remaining on the road. But we would not let the phase us we had appointments that had to be met.

On arriving in London the streets were strangely quiet and must admit we did think maybe the show has been called off but then we saw the great sight of buyers queuing to enter Olympia. Walking into Pure I must admit we were happy with the sight we saw it was a lot busier than previous years and there were a lot more exhibitors. The show was well laid out and full of fantastic product and we did not see many stands that did not have a buyer ordering/looking at products on offer. We placed a few orders from our current brands at Pure and we also searched for new contacts to add to our catalogue of products. But after the job was done I had to have myself a back massage by one of the masseurs at the show wow it was great yes I may have looked stupid in the middle of a tradeshow having a massage with my eyes closed and head rolling but what the hell it made me feel good and was worth every penny.

All at NP2WENTY6 would like to thank all that are involved with Pure and there exhibitors for a great day.

Snow Is Falling BUT!!! Summer Is Coming


Well even with the bad weather we are having of late sadly for all shops across the country we are starting to have our spring summer ranges lol just what you need snow is falling and shorts are arriving. But I can’t help but feel happy that new product are on my shelves and the broken size scale winter stock is now put away ready for students in September to grab some bargains before packing their bags to spread their wings in university. Also it has been great the last few days to sit down with a cup of tea and watch the news and see so many happy faces enjoying the snow and all the doom and gloom of recent news of recession at the back of their mind. It has been great to have people greeting me in the street with no care in the world apart from where the best place to ride there sledge, and that is from all ages from children to adults who can’t wait to release the child within.
It is great from a sellers point to see fresh product hitting the floor but it’s even better for the customer to see some nice bright lively colours on the floor instead of drab grey, navy, brown and of course black all safe colours that us retailers cannot bring ourselves to steer away from in Autumn Winter Seasons.
So it is time to pull up the curtains and let you into our website we have many ranges and many more on the way here is a few links for you all to enjoy.
