“We’re very pleased with this edition, everyone at the show was upbeat. Bubble is focused on staying a beautiful, inspiring and ‘human’ sized show of highly selected brands with a consistent mix. We think it is important to stick to our concept even in these hard times, and not to compromise on the quality of our collections, partners and displays. We believe that “post-crisis consumers” will shop differently, with higher expectations about their shopping experience and the quality of what they buy. They will look carefully for clever, well thought product that respect them and respect the planet. We wanted Bubble to reflect this vision ” said Florence Rolando, co-founder, Bubble.
