The Show website adds Open Showroom
The Designer Boutique Show (The Show) was established in 2008 by fashion designer, Julia Schaffer to provide a platform for buyers to view and order from South African designers. It has now added the Open Showroom, which is a portal to each exhibitor's own online showroom.
The website can now be used as a sourcing tool, increasing exposure for South African fashion labels, enabling buyers to become more familiar with exhibitors before coming to The Show and provides easy access for buyers wanting to source from a selection of South African designers and brands.
"The Show is an established platform for South African brands and labels with wholesale businesses," says Schaffer. "By expanding, we are able to offer a broader service."
