If you’re a retailer in the gift/homewares/kids sector, you’ll most likely be aware of Life Instyle. Their next trade show kicks off mid February in Sydney and promises to be bigger and better than ever!

Life Instyle truly helps business owners take time and stress out of sourcing and buying. With over 300 unique suppliers under the one roof, you can virtually do all of your buying right there and then. This year Life Instyle are describing their event as a "Hyper Paradise" which sounds about right if these images from various suppliers are anything to go by. Not only that, it’s a place of pure inspiration, offering workshops, and seminars from leaders in the field. Everything from hearing about the latest trends, to tips on brand authenticity to how to utilise Instagram for your business will be on offer throughout the event’s duration. Tickets are affordably priced at $30 – it’s a great way to keep informed and learn a new thing or two!

I have attended Life Instyle a few times in the past and it really has a designer vibe to it - I would even go as far as to say it’s one of my favourite trade show events in Australia. The brands they have to choose from are all carefully selected to ensure you’re finding truly one-of-a-kind products. Plus you’ll find First Instyle there, a place to showcase emerging designers as they make their debut to the trade industry for the first time. And their Kids Instyle area is pretty special too – if you stock products for kids this area is amazingly cute!

This year’s Life Instyle will be held at Royal Hall of Industries, Hordern Pavillion from 16-19 February. Entry is free, however is a trade-only event. To register to attend simply click here.
