Harrogate was the first stop on our Trade show tour for the upcoming Autumn/Winter season. This was the perfect opportunity for us to show off our new Autumn/Winter hats and accessories along with our excellent current winter stock. Sometimes it can be difficult to tell just how superb our hats are through either the website or the catalogue. So we are thankful to be able to give our customers a prime opportunity to get a true feel for our products.
Customer feedback during the show was very welcome with orders taken producing some interesting results. So far we have found that the hats and accessories which provided the greatest reaction included our wraps such as WR6 and WR7 along with our tweed bags such as LB25. Elsewhere our tweed caps like the multi panel EHT2 and patchwork flat cap H27 were also very popular. Other hats such as our quirky Sherlock Holmes hat A251 and our Womens short brim wax hat A268 were also popular. Some of our new stock also created real enthusiasm. This includes our sublime additions to the current wellies collection and new faux fur pillbox hats or headbands.
SSP Hats would like to thank all of those who came to visit us for any enquires and to place any orders. We still have Moda and Autumn Fair at the Birmingham NEC to go and both offer free entry if you’re a trade buyer. So there’s still plenty of opportunities to come by and say hello.

These styles are perfect for providing shade and sun protection without sacrificing style. Particular types of wide brims such as floppy hats like H30 also create a sense of elegance.
Our range of bestsellers feature fabrics ranging from straw to cotton and felt, materials that are currently well liked and favoured. Neutral shades or colours like whites, beiges and blacks are well suited to summer outfits. Finally patterns such as stripes and hats accentuated with bands or bows like S97, SL28 and the currently on sale item A429 are said to be high in demand. Their style gives them a unique edge and allows the wearer to catch the eye of any passers-by.

Our product development and sourcing director, Claire Myszczyszyn has worked on the development of these wellies, commenting that “The launch of the Autumn Winter catalogue will feature an updated collection of our popular rubber wellingtons. Last season we delivered our customers an all new and improved rubber shape and quality. Based on the success of this update and a great response from customers, we have continued to develop this shape further by including all new patterns and colours. We have built on bestselling lines as well as introducing fresh elements to keep the range eye catching for the shop floor.”
She continues “Alongside these colourful updates we have featured some of the best patterns in smaller sizes for a children’s version of the high quality shape. These new additions to our wellington family offer a greater element of protection for smaller feet and a sturdier alternative to our existing PVC styles. All styles will be in stock and available for the Autumn Winter catalogue launch.”
