The team behind successful homewares brand Theatre launched their latest venture, Cargo Traders, recently.
Cargo Traders is inspired by the bright lights and city streets of Shanghai and offers an extensive range of modern Asian furniture, lanterns, wood carvings, Buddhas, wall art, silk flowers, ceramics, pots and vessels.
“Cargo Traders brings you inspiration for Zen living,” says director Gloria Gattuso. “Inspired by Asia, fashion and cuisine we mindfully source home and garden décor that can be lovingly used to create beautiful, diverse and culturally enriched living spaces for your home and garden.”
The products are sourced internationally, and the brand works with makers and designers to create items that are eco-friendly and sustainable.
Cargo Traders was on show for the first time at the Sydney Home & Giving fair in February, and Gattuso says the debut went extremely well.
“We had an overwhelming response from retailers at the Cargo Traders stand,” she says. “We were awash with customers who were eager to range something new and interesting by placing their first orders with us.
“Our retailers loved our wall art, our beautiful Buddhas and our competitive price points and many items sold through their quantities before the fair had finished.”
Gattuso says the Cargo Traders team is busy processing orders from the fair, and are planning new releases in April and June.
“We are also working on a delightful new collection to be released at the August fair in Melbourne,” adds Gattuso.
