Mia and Beanie just returned from a short but sweet trip to Copenhagen — here’s what they got up to…

First, they stopped by the CIFF trade show, where our brands Edblad, Glas, Campomaggi, Meimeij, Bitte Kai Rand, and BRGN showcased their latest collections. The show was packed with innovation and fresh ideas, making it a significant meeting point for key accounts. Beanie also made a visit to the Mandatory trade show to connect with the team at Isabelle Blanche Paris. The strong international presence in Copenhagen reflected the industry’s confidence in both Ciff and Mandatory, and Oldstrom was proud to have so many of our brands represented.

On Tuesday evening, Beanie attended a private event with Dea Kudibal for the launch of their Autumn 2025 collection. Joined by 18 of our UK customers, she experienced a live catwalk, styling session, and an inspiring speech from Dea Kudibal herself. It was such a special evening, made even better by sharing it with our buyers.

Meeting our international Oldstorm family and discovering exciting new brands was a major highlight. This trip was invaluable for inspiration and market research ahead of the AW25 selling season. Next stop… SCOOP!

The FLS21 Dea Kudibal collection is inspired by the Famous Silk Road, Ancient China. Drawing inspiration from the scorching heat found in the Sand Dunes burnished by the sun, the cultural locals and the stunning tropical nature.

Handcrafted and cherished pieces have been combined with elements of safari-esque items that create a warm romantic ambience.

The prints, silhouettes and patterns in the FLS21 collection are influenced by the sensitive, bohemian spirit of travellers and traders along the Silk Road.

The underlying 1970's inspiration continues in the floor length dresses and layers of breezy silk.

The Silk Road is an ancient trade route that linked China to the West.

The traders carried many goods and brilliant ideas between civilisations. The road not only helped move Silk but ideas, culture, innovations and many other products across the world.

The Name Silk Road derives from the fact that Silk cloth used to be one of the main products that was traded between many kingdoms.

Chinese Silk was worshipped throughout Asia and Europe for its impeccable softness and luxury. For this, China was once called the “Land of silk”

The Silk Road was over 4,000 miles long. Trade mainly contained luxury goods as it was impossible to travel heavy, so the goods had to be of high value.

The stretch silks quality has become the signature for Dea Kudibal. The luxury of the quality, along with the great durability has made the stretch silk an essential part of every collection.

A fascination for the ethnic culture has always been a part of the brands identity, hence the exclusive materials and refined handmade details such as embroidery and beadings.
