Fashion Accessories Magazine: The Latest Fashion Accessory Products and Suppliers, Monthly

Inside Each Issue

Detailed product and supplier advertisements comprised over 70 percent of the magazine's content — a deliberate design for a sourcing title, because its readers bought from its pages. Each advertisement carried targeted information describing the advertiser's main product lines and core supply capabilities, and the product and advertiser index collected suppliers' full contact details and website addresses in one place, so moving from a product that caught the eye to an enquiry took minutes. Full-colour photographs with top-line specifications accompanied each featured product.

Beyond the advertisements, each issue carried in-depth sourcing reports from mainland China with analyses of supplier output capacities, quality control controls and pricing strategies, plus updates on the latest supply trends and product developments across Asia — including Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, India and Singapore — in objective reporting from Global Sources' network of specialized analysts throughout Asia and worldwide.

Sections: Accessories, Bags and Footwear, Beauty, Watches and Jewelry

Issues included advertisements and editorial sections on four groupings: Accessories; Bags & Footwear; Beauty & Cosmetics; and Watches & Jewelry. That grouping mirrors how accessory buying actually works — a fashion accessories buyer rarely buys one category in isolation, because handbags, small leather goods, watches, jewelry and beauty lines are planned together for the same shop floor and the same season. Reading the four sections together shows which suppliers span categories and which specialize, and where a product trend in one section, such as a material or a colour, is appearing in the others.

Subscription and Editions

The annual subscription was US$170 for 12 issues delivered by air courier — a monthly working tool rather than a newsstand purchase. As of January 1, 2010, the magazines in this section are no longer available for printed publication, and readers should visit the Global Sources website for the availability of electronic magazine editions. Questions about the magazine were handled by Fenni Choo at Global Sources, whose contact link is carried in the navigation on this page. The Garments & Textiles and Baby & Children's Products companion magazines are presented on their own pages, and the Magazine Directory lists the whole Global Sources magazine and report range.
