Attend Tendence, Germany

Shop owner? Free between 26 and 30 August? Well, you shouldn’t be, because that’s when Tendence – the most important consumer goods fair of the second half of the year – takes place.

And as we speak special tour packages are on offer. From R11, 890 you can fly to Frankfurt, Germany, and enjoy accommodation and buffet breakfasts in a four-star hotel located just 700m from the fair ground. But act quickly, because you’ll need a minimum of three weeks to apply for that Schengen Visa…

Other great news for South Africans is that entrance tickets to Tendence are available from the Joburg and Cape Town offices.

The following product categories will be exhibited at the fair:

Loft: Design-orientated and avante-garde home accessories and furniture

Interiors and decoration: High-end furnishing ideas, covering every aspect of an interior

Seasonal decoration: Decor for celebratory events, from flowers to gifts and everything in between

Outdoor living: Garden furniture and outdoor accessories

Passage and home: Ideas and products for inside and out

Passage table and kitchen: Kitchenware and equipment in all shapes and forms

Young and trendy: Trend and design-orientated gifts

Gifts unlimited: Gifts, stationery, souvenirs, arts and crafts

Modern crafts: Contemporary handicraft products made from natural materials

Collectables: Once-offs, limited editions and collectors items

Personal accessories: Everything fashion for him and her

Carat: A large range of hip and authentic jewellery

Passage gifts: Toys, gifts, games, decorative items and jewellery for those in the container business

Tendence takes place in just over a month’s time. And if you want to keep your finger on the international pulse, we really do recommend you attend.

Let us know if you’re going, we would love to hear about your experience.
