 Welcome to the BTAA
The British Travelgoods and Accessories Association (BTAA), previously known as the BLLA, is committed to promoting the growth and image of the accessories, handbags, leathergoods and travelgoods industry.

Think of us as your friend at the end of the phone/email. We offer impartial and confidential advice and can help you network within the industry.  Our National Committee members are from within the industry and are always on hand to help.   Please see testimonals for references.

 

The BTAA prides itself on being the first point of contact for our industry; providing impartial and confidential advice and guidance for European companies, designers and everyone in the industry.  We offer an Advisory service for International companies too. The BTAA offers many benefits and savings which can help you save money and compete, as well as discounts on exhibiting at some UK trade fairs - see discount Discount calculator. We send out regular member 'e' updates with guidance on industry legislation and information. Many industry statistics and reports are available to members free of charge.  Our networking contacts and experience can help you research into the British and overseas markets.

 

The BTAA is a non for profit making Trade Association, part of the BJGF (6 trade associations in total) and works tirelessly on behalf of its members and the industry. We have been helping the industry since 1918 so our knowledge and background of the industry is vast, if we can't help we can sign-post you to someone who can.
