“AccessoriesTheShow has a great atmosphere and a very supportive sales team. We had a great experience and look forward to future shows.”

Carla Vargas

“I’m a smaller boutique company based in the Midwest so AccessoriesTheShow is important because it’s the only place I see my customers. They expect to see me at the show so it’s crucial that I’m there. At the February edition I met with a lot of new stores and traffic was amazing.”

“Since this was our first AccessoriesTheShow and a new outlet for ROCKFLOWERPAPER, it was sort of a test. The show proved to be a good fit for us and it’s where we belong. The quality of retailers was very good and they were definitely there to buy. I was very impressed overall. Show management is fabulous; they’re very organized and easy to work with. It was smooth and easy as far as operations go.”

Andy Spiegel

“The February edition of AccessoriesTheShow was definitely the most successful show we’ve ever had in Las Vegas. It’s important because it’s a market that connects the entire U.S.! Accounts that I normally see in LA or NY come here to shop the floor. The show helps us reach the retailers in the Southwest area and internationally as well. Overall, we found the quality of retailers very good and on the second day we had a higher quality than average place the most orders.”

Vanessa Urenda
ADA Collection

“It was my first time at AccessoriesTheShow Las Vegas and it was great! We saw a good deal of our existing customers and met a lot of new ones as well. The show really does pull retailers nationwide- not just from the west coast like I was expecting! It was great seeing East Coast customers, as well as our Las Vegas and West Coast ones. Everyone on the sales team is fabulous and we’re excited for the next show!”

Raina Paquillo

“It was our first time at the Las Vegas edition of AccessoriesTheShow and I enjoyed it from start to finish. The show was very well-run and we opened a lot of new accounts. We surpassed our sales goals on the first day. The Las Vegas market is very important; because it is like a mecca where so many people congregate. It’s saturated with shows and you want to be in the one where you get noticed. I’ve been searching for the home that I like most for my company and AccessoriesTheShow felt the most right.”

Karin Johnston

Stephanie Rozanovich
Trend Boutique (Cincinnati, OH)

"Having exhibited for over 30 years my view is perhaps a little broader then usual because it takes in the whole picture from when AccessoriesTheShow was in its infancy to what it has grown into today. We feel the criteria for producing a world class event is experienced management in promotion, proper jurying, creating an exciting ambiance, buyer comfort, convenient layout of booths and exhibitors who contribute to making their customers buying trip an enjoyable process. Our sincere thank to AccessoriesTheShow for their endless diligence in meeting all of the above."

“I think AccessoriesTheShow is one of the best-run shows I attend. The venue is always aesthetically pleasing. As a proud owner of an independent store, I appreciate the thoughtful effort that goes into the staging of the vendors- clothing separate from accessories. The pre-registration is great and really saves precious shopping time by not having to stand in line. I know that I can always count on AccessoriesTheShow to have the “best of the best” in terms of selection and quality of products. Keep up the good work.”

Carol Winston

“AccessoriesTheShow was crowded with retailer traffic, especially the first day of the show. The merchandise mix at AccessoriesTheShow offered a wide range of price points, which is good for us because we carry a variety of lines and price points that appeal to every one of our customers. The quality of the vendors at the show was good and we found several new lines that we are looking forward to introducing to our clientele.”

“This season at AccessoriesTheShow, my company, whats-in-store, experienced great growth in brand exposure to national media, sales to a wide geographic range of boutique retailers, and relationship-building with volume buyers and chain stores. Each year, the January, May, and August editions of AccessoriesTheShow continue to be the benchmark for our company's performance in the accessories market, providing great feedback from educated buyers, valuable networking with esteemed competitors, and trend directions for our domestic markets.”

Dena Ferrell Nance
Whats-In-Store

"We were thrilled with AccessoriesTheShow! Shoeclips.biz launched its wholesale business six months ago and AccessoriesTheShow was our first time emerging into the fashion market. Having been a business owner for years, I have participated in many trade shows in the past and I have to say that AccessoriesTheShow is truly a high-end, class act show. The complimentary and ‘out of this world’ catering, fantastic booth location and presentation, cleanliness, and helpfulness from all event and building staff, were the key ingredients to the high-end show. To top things off is the outstanding quality of serious, high-end retailers who crowded our booth at AccessoriesTheShow, including large retailers like Stein Mart and Anthropologie. Needless to say, we cannot wait for the next show.”
