Thank you, Top Drawer! 💜⁣
⁣
After three very full days at Top Drawer, I’ve come away feeling incredibly excited about where The Card Queen is heading.⁣
⁣
Top Drawer has always been one of the shows I genuinely enjoy visiting. It’s design-led, beautifully curated and there’s always such a brilliant mix of creativity, emerging talent and established brands to discover. The show describes itself as a “curated destination for contemporary, wholesale-ready brands” and walking the floor this week, you can absolutely feel that. ⁣
⁣
This time, I was there supporting three fantastic brands represented by The Card Queen - Fonted, Ornament Art and Fifi Handcrafted, catching up with retailers, making introductions and generally doing what I love most: championing brilliant independent businesses.⁣
⁣
I also caught up with Chloe Turner, one of the newest brands to join The Card Queen portfolio, who will be making her Top Drawer debut in January, as well as my US advisor Andy Meehan, as we continue developing opportunities for our brands internationally.⁣
⁣
And that brings me rather nicely to the next chapter…⁣
⁣
👑 The Card Queen is officially coming to Top Drawer.⁣
⁣
At Top Drawer Spring 2027, 10–12 January at Olympia London, The Card Queen will have its first-ever Top Drawer stand, bringing together seven exciting brands that have never exhibited at Top Drawer before. ⁣
⁣
That feels pretty special.⁣
⁣
The whole idea behind The Card Queen is to create opportunities, make introductions and help brilliant independent brands access doors that can be much harder to open alone.⁣
⁣
So to be able to create our own curated Card Queen destination at a show I’ve enjoyed and supported for years feels like a very natural next step.⁣
⁣
Seven brands. One stand. Lots to come. ⁣
⁣
Retailers, save the date.⁣
⁣
10–12 January 2027⁣
Olympia London⁣

AUTUMN FAIR DONE… TOP DRAWER, I’M COMING FOR YOU! 👑💜⁣
⁣
I’ve literally just got back from four brilliant (and slightly exhausting 😂) days at Autumn Fair and apparently there’s no rest for The Card Queen… because this weekend we’re heading straight back out for Top Drawer AW26!⁣
⁣
And this time I’m supporting THREE fabulous Card Queen brands. 🙌🏾⁣
⁣
Swipe through the carousel to hear me introduce each of the brands, and a sneak peek 👀 of what they’re bringing to the show.⁣
⁣
I’ll be spending Sunday, Monday and Tuesday doing what I love: talking cards, meeting retailers, championing brilliant independent publishers and probably talking far too much. 😂⁣
⁣
👑 SHOW OFFER: Retailers can use code CARDQUEEN10 for 10% OFF orders placed with the participating Card Queen brands at the show.⁣
⁣
So if you spot something you love at Top Drawer, come and say hello, have a proper look through the ranges and take advantage of the offer. 💜⁣
⁣
Top Drawer AW26 | 13–15 September | Olympia London⁣
⁣
See you there! Who’s coming? 👑🙌🏾⁣

Retailers, if you’re visiting Top Drawer A/W 2026 at Olympia London, 13–15 September, make sure you add these three brilliant Card Queen brands to your show list:⁣
⁣
🍰 Ornament Art — Stand T29⁣
🔤 Fonted — Stand U15⁣
🧶 Fifi’s Handcrafted — Stand W14⁣
⁣
Three very different brands, three fantastic collections and plenty of gorgeous newness to discover. 💜⁣
⁣
And there’s a little Card Queen show offer for retailers too…⁣
⁣
✨ QUOTE “CARDQUEEN10” & RECEIVE 10% OFF YOUR ORDER ✨⁣
⁣
The offer applies to orders placed before Top Drawer and at the show, so if you already know you’d like to stock one of these brands, you don’t have to wait until Sunday!⁣
⁣
I’ll also be at Top Drawer throughout the show, catching up with retailers and talking all things cards, wholesale and what’s coming next from The Card Queen.⁣
⁣
If you’re a retailer and would like to sit down with me while we’re there, drop me a DM to book an appointment, I’d love to see you. 👑💜⁣
⁣
📍 Olympia London⁣
📅 13–15 September 2026⁣
⁣
See you at Top Drawer!⁣
