35 Degrees
Hong Kong

35 Degrees is a Hong Kong brand that was officially launched this year. Our brand primarily focuses on waterwear, and the fabrics of all our product are sourced from Italy.

It marks the first time for 35 Degrees to take part in CENTRESTAGE, and it has been a good experience. Since we are a newly established company, we wanted to explore opportunities beyond Hong Kong at CENTRESTAGE.

Scan2Match has helped us connect with more businesses, which I find beneficial. So far, we had four business matching meetings. Some of them are internationally renowned companies like Galeries Lafayette in France, a department store in Indonesia, and businesses from Japan and Guangzhou.

Apart from these four businesses, companies from Germany, the United States, Taiwan have contacted us, and an Australian company has already sent us an email to follow up promptly.

The trend of athleisure has been ongoing for several years. CENTRESTAGE has heavily promoted athleisure this time, which definitely helps our brand. I appreciate TDC's efforts in promoting athleisure on different media and social media.

I must commend TDC for their arrangements during the typhoon. Even at 11 p.m., they were still following up on everything. After our arrival, they frequently checked in on us, which left me very satisfied.

Next year, I will certainly participate in CENTRESTAGE again because both my partner and I feel that the opportunity to meet buyers who are usually hard to reach is invaluable, especially considering we have only been established for a short period of time.

Alvear
France

We are Alvear group. We are buying offices from Milan market, and Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman in the US. We are based in France, Milan and London, and we source products for US department stores. If it is fit with our clients, they take the orders.

I was looking for accessories and womenswear. I am here to explore the market and see what is going on in Hong Kong, finding new designers.

This is my first time attending CENTRESTAGE and the experience so far is nice. I have almost talked to all the brands and it is good to see what is going on in other markets. I have identified a few potentials, mostly from Hong Kong.

I would like to visit the fair again. It is important to see what is new and follow the brands, such as looking into their previous and next collections. It is important to come and see whether the brands are ready for the market or not.
