The SEC in Glasgow hosted Scotland’s Trade Fair Autumn on August 18–19, offering a vibrant mix of Scottish craftsmanship and trend-forward giftware. With nearly a third of exhibitors new to the event, buyers discovered fresh talent in the Launch Gallery alongside established brands in fashion, home décor, jewellery, and locally sourced gifts.
Despite economic challenges, the atmosphere was upbeat, with strong interest in provenance-driven products and festive-season orders. This boutique-style fair reaffirmed its role as a key buying opportunity for independent retailers and tourist-focused businesses, blending tradition with innovation.
