Trends We Saw At Market

Tailored

We're still seeing this category using lots of warm, natural, earthy colors. Solids, stripes, checks and geometric designs seemed to dominate. Items that caught our eye were made from leather, polished stainles steel, aluminium and rubberized surfaces.

Soft

Colors ranged from soft pastels to glossy bright iridescents. Product selection contained photograph albums and journals which were richly embellished and decorated with floral embroidery on cotton or linen materials. Other items such as frames were adorned with faux semi-precious stones and faux ivory. Bright spotted designs and striped designs were abundant. Pearlized textured surfaces were seen throughout many of the products from papers to giftables.

Kids

Very strong bold colors dominated the products in this category. Items for boys seemed to harken back to the 1950s and evoked adventure and exploration. Dinosaurs, magicians, rockets and airplanes were dominate motifs on many products. Items for girls on the other hand seemed to be more in the style of the 1960s. Fantasy, film stars and flowers were the dominate motifs we saw used on the products geared towards girls.

After reflecting and absorbing all that we saw, we confident that our new Spring arrivals will not only satisfy your needs for Easter, Graduation, Mother's Day, and Father's Day but also for bridal showers and luncheons as well as Spring get togethers with family and friends.
