The response has been excellent. So far, we’ve come across at least 12 serious buyers from Italy, Russia, Singapore, Australia and Brazil. They really like our designs. Further talks will be conducted to confirm orders.

On the first day of exhibition, I've found three new suppliers from Hong Kong and Mainland China for silk bedding sets and kitchen items through the business matching meetings. We will place bigger orders that usually range from US$20,000 to US$200,000 each depending on products.

We’ve met with buyers from Malaysia, Indonesia and other Southeast Asian countries. Two buyers from Mainland China and a Hong Kong company have also expressed interest in our collections. Among them is a major department store group from Qingdao who intends to purchase our embroidered napkins. Large clients usually prefer less variety but bigger quantity when it comes to ordering. Other customers want more variety and smaller quantity each item. We can deal with these orders flexibly.

I have found three new suppliers from India for rugs and carpets. They will send over the pricing details. The amount of orders will be subject to further negotiation. Normal orders are usually about US$20,000 each. I really love this fair that gathers everything under one roof. I can find a diversity of exhibitors and products in different styles from different countries such as India, Mainland, Thailand and Vietnam.
