SAYDAM’S CREATIVITY PROVED ITSELF AS BEING WORLDWIDE FASHION PIONEER
Premier Vision _Paris , the most important fair in fashion fabrics worldwide, had its Spring – summer 2012 session last week between 8th and 10th. Saydam’s Collection once again proved itself being worldwide fashion pioneer in creativity and product know-how. The interest and allocations to our booth , located in Silky Seduction Area- Hall 5 F10, had increased tremandiously.
The core part of the visitors has been as usual from European countries. In addition to all these , we had visitors from important Japanese, Australian and Unites States fashion garment brands. We were proud that they all come on recomendation to see the Saydam Collection.
This season the fair has been very busy and productive for us. Most of the visitors arranged meeting time to see Saydam’s Collection which means alot to us. We are glad that they find the collection inspirational before their seasonal buying decisions.We got very positive feedbacks about color selections for each product groups. During the fair, we had very productive meetings with our existing customers. With their design team , we developed the product on the spot together.
Thanks to all Saydam representatives from each country, who had been very organized with their Saydam Visitors Schedule’s in their hands. We felt that they have been very much happy and convinced with this season’s collection.We are very satisfied with our proactive meetings with each agent. With a few additional changes , the collection will be customized for each countries market needs. With this opprtunity, we wellcome our new representative Sodac for France. Eventhough he is very new , he was very active during the fair. We also had several offers for representing our collection from important agents from interesting countries. We are considering them seriously.
We felt the significant increase in the market demand. European buyers espeacially seem to turn their buying focus more towards European producers. They mention that Chinese producers were more concentrated in their local market, so the lead times and prices has increased. The most important concern of the customer was the increase in material costs worldwide, which evantually effect their in store prices. They mainly mention their concern and need of being able to make this increase more gradual.
As a summary, PV – Paris fair has been very busy and productive meeting for us with our customers and agents from each country. We need to underlien here that the success belongs to our creative collection team, which created a great result with the energy that comes out from the harmonic team work of technical and marketing people.
