03 Strange Nature Basement 2/2-B11 Who are you? In a short space of time, New Zealand owned Strange Nature has gained global recognition and as a result is now selling in the key duty-paid markets of Australia, UK, US and India. Strange Nature has specifically been available to the duty free channel for 18 months and has quickly amassed distribution across 12 international airports, its key retail customers are Lotte, Lagardère, Heinemann and Avolta. Who buys your products? Strange Nature meets the growing traveller demand for extraordinary new luxury spirit brands. During Covid lockdowns consumers had no other choice but to make their favourite cocktails at home, due to their favourite cocktail bar being closed. This has resulted in consumers becoming more confident and educated in home cocktail-making, therefore seeking out new and strange ingredients. Why exhibit now? The brand has a strong distribution in Oceania and now has a desire to grow its Asia duty free footprint. What are your objectives? Purely and simply, Strange Nature is looking to make new acquaintances with duty free retailer buyers and category managers, from the Asia region and beyond. What is your USP? Strange Nature gin is sourced from a rather delectable by-product – the pure spirit of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc wine. Traceable from grape to glass, unlike many others, they know precisely the sustainably farmed source of where the base spirit is derived from. The pure white spirit is then distilled with the only botanical Strange Nature needs, the one that defines gin – juniper – giving it an unexpected taste profile. 04 Chantecaille Basement 2/2-M27 Who are you? Chantecaille has established a luxurious standard in the world of plant-powered botanical skincare, fragrance, and colour cosmetics for over 25 years. From inception, the company has championed a ‘naturally beautiful’ ethos that has always been ahead of its time. Renowned for award-winning formulas, the brand is dedicated to pure ingredients, smart science, and animal conservation. Who buys your products? Our customers span generations and come to us for both our chic colour and science-led skincare assortment that caters to all ages and skin concerns. They are passionate about the pure formulas, beautiful textures and visible results that Chantecaille products offer. They’re also as deeply committed to our conservation projects as we are. Why exhibit now? First and foremost, APAC remains a very important region in global travel retail. After a couple of gloomy Covid years, we see a very strong positive dynamism back in the TR region. Secondly, after an initial period of consolidation of Chantecaille into the Beiersdorf family, focusing on the back end, we are now ready and excited to go full speed on the front end and business development. What are your objectives? TFWA Asia Pacific Exhibition & Conference gives us the opportunity to spread the ‘beauty giving back’ ethos of Chantecaille to excite new retailer partners and nurture existing relationships with our longstanding partners. We are looking forward to welcoming retailers into our own Chantecaille booth as we aim to create a beautiful botanical beauty experience. What is your USP? Chantecaille is unique with our three key pillars – Philanthropy with a legacy of conservation and caring for our planet, Botanical ingredients with formulas drawn from florals, and Innovation of creating science-driven products that yield maximum results.
