Foccini International Inc. (TSX VENTURE:FOI) (the "Company"), 100% owner of
Austrian merchandising and design subsidiary Foccini Trade GmbH ("FT"), today
announced FT has secured a new merchandise contract worth EURO 1.6 million
(approximately CAD$2.4M) to supply new uniforms for the employees of a large
state owned company in Austria. This new contract marks Foccini Trade's entry
into the market segment of designing and producing employee uniforms.


Manufacturing of the clothing will begin next month with delivery to the
customer commencing in September. Final deliveries are expected to be completed
before the end of 2008.


Christian Jagerhofer, the CEO of Foccini International and President of FT,
commented: "This contract win will significantly boost FT's total revenue in
2008 compared with last year."


In its audited annual financial statements filed on SEDAR April 29, 2008, the
Company reported total revenue of CAD $1.642M for 2007, compared with $1.594M in
2006. Management of Foccini Trade expects most of the business orders from last

development of the Foccini Trade platform. Successful completion of a larger
order such as this can help grow market confidence in FT, helping FT's ability
to finance and secure new business in the future."


Management of the Company remains committed to seeking new opportunities as a
means to optimizing shareholder value, both within the Company's existing
framework and beyond. Richard Muruve, a director of the Company, stated: "The
new uniform contract and the recent balance sheet improvements of Foccini Trade
will permit the company to negotiate from strength in any endeavour to seek a
new business entity. Recent improvements in FT's performance also challenge
management to be more critical in assessing any new opportunities."
