As you will see in the pictures, the event was exceptionally well attended, and the Bijou Collection on display at the Dubai World Trade Centre was well received by the many entrepreneurs and other guests present.

Amidst the obviously fruitful networking that took place, there were many interesting proposals for commercializing the Bijou collection in the U.A.E. and for establishing partnerships with local designer companies and others.

I was also officially appointed Arab Business Club Ambassador to Spain in the course of the proceedings.

In short: we had a great time and both Pili from Bijou and myself feel that the event was a resounding success. Below you can see some pictures we took to prove the point!

You can see more pictures in my Facebook page.

Now off to Brasil on Saturday for a string of business meetings with some top retail contacts there which I hope will turn out to be just as productive. Watch this space!

The event, which will be open to both members and non-members, will be an opportunity for my client - the Spanish fashion jewellery wholesaler Bijou Siglo XXI - to introduce their collection, described as ‘elegant, trendy and unique European fashion accessories and fashion jewellery’ to prospective retailers in the area. 

Bijou’s managing director Pili Angulo will be showcasing their pieces and also offering 20 unique gifts from their catalogue to attendees.
