Bringing together a showcase of carefully selected British and international suppliers and designers, Top Drawer is London’s largest design-led gift trade event.
Cordina, accredited through the British Complementary Medical Association and the Swiss Federation of Professionals, said: “I’m delighted to be exhibiting for the first time and to be presenting my products to buyers from all over the world. So far, we have had a high level of interest in the collection and in Malta itself.
“My strategy for 2015 is to further establish myself in Malta, as well as to break into markets such as the UK. I look forward to working with Malta Enterprise and the High Commission in London, both of which have already given me great support.”
Maltese High Commissioner Norman Hamilton, who visited Cordina’s stand, was impressed by the entrepreneur’s collection and determination to showcase Malta.
“It has been a pleasure to visit this prestigious fair and to view a Maltese artist and entrepreneur exhibit his own brand to such high standards. Stephen is surely making a name for himself and Malta in London,” Hamilton said.
Cordina is the first modern-day creator of distinctive fragrances based on Maltese flora. His candles, which when melted turn into a body lotion, have been a hit, as has his range of bathroom products.
Following on from the fair, the range of Aroma & Therapy products will be permanently on sale in the UK, as well as in Malta and five other European locations.
