Harper Dennis Hobbs set to showcase varied portfolio in Cannes debut

Harper Dennis Hobbs (HDH) will present its portfolio of wholesale brands and services at next week’s TFWA World Exhibition (Yellow Village H35).

The London based agency, which specialises in airport consultancy, retail advisory services and wholesale distribution, is a first time exhibitor at the event.

In addition to showing collections from their existing key brands, HDH will also feature two newcomers: LØCI vegan sneakers and Diamanti Per Tutti jewellery.

As reported, Diamanti Per Tutti joined the HDH line-up earlier this month. Founded in 2013 in Antwerp, DPT (Diamonds for All) operates 14 standalone boutiques in Belgium, Hong Kong, Singapore and Shanghai and is intent on extending its footprint in travel retail. A travel retail exclusive Wanderlust range will be highlighted at the Cannes event.

Travel retail newcomer LØCI offers a range of sneakers made from recycled plastic and fully sustainable materials. Every pair supports the removal of 20 bottles from landfill or the ocean, and 10% of the profits from each pair is donated to protecting and preserving sea life.

Other collections set for the Cannes spotlight include skincare brands GFL, de Mamiel and Non-Gender Specific, swimwear and accessories from Heidi Klein, Skinny Dip accessories and food and coffee from London based café company EL&N.

HDH Executive Director for Travel Retail Simon Black said: “We are delighted to support TFWA and the travel retail industry by exhibiting at TFWA Cannes for the first time this year, and we are excited to share our wholesale brands and airport and retailer advisory services at this iconic show.

“It will mark the return of the travel retail industry to live events, and we look forward to meeting and connecting with old friends and new partners after such a long separation.”
