The Intelligence Series is a group of videos designed to provide fashion retailers and brands with expert knowledge to navigate fashion sourcing.

Retail 100 will share its expertise across a range of categories including fashion, homeware, gifting, toys, seasonal, garden, and beauty. The strategic collaboration kicks off with a “Beginner’s Guide to Sourcing” video followed by a series exploring eight key sourcing regions.

The first video features Retail100’s co-founders and ex-John Lewis buyers Anna Berry and Sara Allbright offering an in-depth dive into sourcing, covering topics such as where to start, how to plan sourcing routes, create a critical path, and navigate shipping, sustainability, visas, and travel.

The subsequent “Sourcing Intelligence – Country Focus” videos explore the unique characteristics, challenges, and opportunities of sourcing from countries including Türkiye, India, Africa, Bangladesh, China, Pakistan, and Portugal.

“The depth and breadth of opportunity at our Source shows continues to expand as we collaborate and develop our relationships with key partners such as Retail100,” explains Source Fashion’s sourcing director Suzanne Ellingham. “Their insight and experience is hugely valuable to our audience, and we are excited to offer this incredible content throughout the year.”

Allbright added: “Working with the team at Source has allowed us a platform to help support and educate those interested in bringing sourcing into their businesses and share what we have learnt.”
