The latest additions to B+D’s Copenhagen sunglasses collection, including the Solskin range, will also be featured in Orlando.

B+D CEO Roberto Crom said: “The new Solskin range was designed bearing in mind our “easy to exhibit, easy to sell” motto. In addition to a great assortment of three essential sunglasses styles at very affordable prices, we will be offering retailers a creative packaging solution that makes purchasing easier for the final consumer. The range and the merchandising solutions we offer were specially conceived for high traffic locations.”

We will also feature B+D’s compact self-select fixtures at the show, helping retailers visualise how B+D can add excitement and colour to the category.”
