DOT, a regular presence at Bubble, is returning to London. Elegance, versatility and comfort are the key features of the collection. «Our main export country is the United Kingdom and the reason why we have participated in this trade show since 2011.

The company Vandoma, which is making its debut at Bubble London, aims to expand the brand's children's wear segment. «We chose this trade show because we are seeking new clients in the children's wear segment, an area we have yet to fully exploit», explains Ana Sousa, manager of the company.

Highlight to the novelties of the 2015 Autumn/Winter collection. «The whole collection of the Piccola Stella brand has a personality that we wish to showcase internationally. We aim to present the main trends for the next cold-weather season and raise brand awareness», she explains.
