New Me & Mats Collection

We are very excited to announce that Me & Mats have had a bit of a makeover as well as some exciting NEW products.

The Me & Mats team are a feel good collective and they wanted their branding to convey that. They changed the logo to a fun red icon based one as well as changing their colours to be more upbeat and trend driven. Their new products are the Cheeky collection jars (our fave is Love You, You Idiot), chocolate to match (complete with cheeky sentiment), handsoap with metallic finish and the super NEW TIN CANDLES! This means that you can get the handy travel size candle with signature scent and sentiment for only £8.99 - pretty sweet deal if you ask us!

We absolutely love their new branding and we think the brand will continue their success. Check out their insta here - @meandmats

Oli Olsen at Springfair

This year we exhibited at the Spring Fair at the NEC in Birmingham. This was our first time at this show and we were not expecting the grand size of it! This trade show consists of 10 halls with homeware, gifts, jewellery, kitchen, Christmas and so much more. We were in Hall 6 which is contemporary gift and was filled with beautiful trendy products. We had such a good time meeting so many customers both new and existing, and were overwhelmed with the love of our products.

Here's what our stand looked like with all four brands showcasing their amazing stuff!

Oli Olsen on Tour!

Here at Oli Olsen HQ we love to see up and coming products, brands, people and trends so every year we take a trip (to visit or exhibit) to as many trade shows as possible. To kick things off this year we are travelling to beautiful Paris and then on to metropolitan London - how very chic of us!

First up is Maison & Objet in Paris. This trade show is base in the Paris Nord Villepinte Exhibition Centre which is insanely huge! We didn't exhibit at this show but we did visit three out of four of our brands including Goodnight Light, Me & Mats and The Cool Company. All their stands looked absolutely beautiful and they had lots of interest for new customers. The trip was tiring to say the least (four days of standing and walking) but was so inspirational. The show has a wide variety of brands and everything looked wonderful!

Next up we were in London at Top Drawer in Olympia. This time we were only there to visit and to see what all the upcoming trends were for this year. We saw new and existing brands in every aspect of jewellery, homeware and gifts. We were blown away by the creativity of the British trade.

Check out the brands stands - how good did they look? Right, where to next...

Happy New Year from Oli Olsen

A MASSIVE Happy New Year to all of our customers! Goodbye 2017 and hello 2018.

New year is a great time to get things in order as well as to create some resolutions (hopefully ones that we can stick to!) All we want to do is further expand our collection of wonderful homeware and gifts to keep our customers enjoying our product and brands. We think 2018 will be pretty exciting, watch this space...
