Pure London x JATC
Pure London x JATC, taking place at Olympia Events from 14th to 16th July 2024, will see the return of the dedicated Sustainable destination. Buyers will discover a carefully curated selection of new and emerging brands that are making a positive impact on the industry by addressing their environmental and social impact.
Sustainable Destination
The Sustainable Destination uses the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to assess the impact of all exhibitors, who must demonstrate that they are tackling specific key issues to exhibit within the destination. Sustainable will continue to raise the profile of ethical and sustainable fashion across the entire event, helping to lower the industry’s carbon footprint and invest in a better future. Spread across the show, buyers and retailers can find collections of shoes, accessories, womenswear, and jewelry.
Statement from the Event Director
Gloria Sandrucci, Event Director, says, “We are thrilled to host the Sustainable Destination at Pure London x JATC again this year. Our goal is to shine a spotlight on brands that are leading the way in ethical and sustainable fashion and to inspire others in the industry to follow suit. The dedication and innovation shown by our exhibitors are truly remarkable, and we are proud to provide a platform that supports and celebrates their efforts.”
