That’s the thinking behind our stand this year,” says schoolwear brand Trutex. “Not all products are equal, and to highlight why we stand behind our Made to Last pledge, we will be showing detailed examples of what makes our products different, from the stitching, linings, reinforcement points and fabric weights. The brand will also have a full product range available at the Schoolwear Show to sample along with some some new additions, plus a lounge area to talk through what’s working in your store. “With over 160 years behind us, we know our products have to earn their place on your shelves.
