Ti Sento’s Autumn-Winter 2023 season will officially start on the 11th of September. However, since the end of June, the Mesmeric Distribution team (UK Distributor) has visited 80% of their retailer network to present the collection and write pre-sale orders that will start shipping the week commencing 4th of September (via the Birmingham Assay Office for hallmarking), unless a retailer has requested a later shipping date.
Judith Lockwood, Director and Founder of Mesmeric Distribution, said,
“The last four months of the year are the most important for trade and also the shortest. The Ti Sento brand also recognises that to get a true forecast of what is required for stock, delivery, and availability is to ask the people who know best – our retailers.”
Lockwood and her team reached out to their distribution, and the result has been fantastic, she says.
“Our stockists were open to this. Seeing the 120 pieces of newness focused the buyers’ minds; it also gave them the chance to pre-order the Festive Gift With Purchase coming in early November, and the new Zodiac Collection. It has helped them plan their windows with something new in September as all marketing materials and images will be sent at the same time too.”
Lockwood confirms that those retailers who were unable to order before the launch date can still order in the normal manner - no one will miss out.
Lockwood shares,
"The biggest concern for retailers is to be assured that the team would revisit in the traditional season (Sep/Oct/Nov) as normal to present the full collection, Top 30, core and best-sellers. We're happy to say that appointments are already booked and confirmed with a great many of our retail partners. Plus, a surprising number are asking if we can also work in this model for SS24. If that’s what our customers want, then that is what they will get”.
Ti Sento is exhibiting at both the CMJ Trade Event on the 10th and 11th of August and also at The Jewellery Show on the 20th and 21st of September. Plus, the brand is sponsoring the Jewellery Team of the Year award at this year's Professional Jeweller Award and will be in attendance at the UK Jewellery Awards, where they are, once again, finalists for Jewellery Brand of the Year.
