For those of you who aren’t familiar with Premiere Classe – it’s an international trade show that takes place in Paris – the fashion capital of the world, and has been running for the past 25 years.

The trade show is spread out across two locations: Port de Versailles and Jardin des Tuileries, and takes place twice every year.

PC focuses primarily on the world of fashion accessories (jewellery, shoes, bags, leather goods, scarves, gloves and even umbrellas!) and showcases approximately 900 different brands and designers.

If you’re a designer, it’s a great way to get your collection in front of international buyers, create a buzz around your brand, and ultimately generate more sales.

Here are some of the biggest benefits about exhibiting at PC:

PC is particularly great if you’re a new designer or a brand in the early stages of growth, and trying to attract new customers and generate more sales.

This prestigious trade show will give you and your collection great exposure to French and International buyers, who often attend primarily to hunt out emerging new talent.
