March 2010 Children's Club: Newcomers and New Lines - Part II
La Lovie 100% Cashmere Blankets and Sweaters, Cashmere/Silk Blend Blankets, Handmade Security Dolls Designers: Irene Wei; Anthony Bonoli Wholesale: $18 - $135 Ages: Infant, toddler What's the big idea? Ms. Wei (a fashion designer) and Mr. Bonoli (an artist who admits to being inspired by Matisse) are parents of two, they "LOVE lovies" and their products are a perfect mix of fashion and art. This company was formed as a way to provide their young children with the best, highest quality, softest lovies, blankets, dolls, etc. Nothing is mass produced, and fabrics like cashmere, cashmere and silk, and vintage kimono fabrics are used throughout. It's all about feely touchy, and it's a true labor of love.

Zootie Patootie Funky, bright, edgy coordinates for baby Designers: Montel Gallagher; Shelly Gallagher Wholesale: $6 - $13 Ages: 0 - 24 months What's the big idea? This is a new line of exclusive designs, ready to mix and match and perfect for everyday separates (one-pieces, leg warmers, dresses, 'zoo' tee, and hats); there are also gift ready and beautifully boxed gift sets. It is specifically designed by a mother and daughter team, so that everything works together: all the pieces are meant to coordinate, be mixed and matched, or can be worn separately, so it takes the stress out of getting dressed for parents and children. The name itself is a cute mix of the words zoot (as in suit) and cutie pie. Their tagline is "no pants required"

Kowalli Stylish baby carrier covers and accessories Designer: Alizah Holstein Wholesale: $11 - $34.50 Sizes: Infant, toddler What's the big idea? The smart well thought out design of the fuzzy and warm polar tech fleece covers (with coordinating matching booties), allows parent and child to share body heat, feel close, and bond; it also protects baby's legs. The name, Kowalli is the combination of the names of Alizah's two children.

Creative Clips by Colleen Fun, novelty hair accessories for little girls and adults Designer: Colleen Connon Ages: Baby - Adult Wholesale: $3.95 - $6.00 What's the big idea? Creative Clips has a trademarked design, a small piece of Velcro which is guaranteed to hold the clip in place, even on the finest of baby hair. Colleen has just expanded her extensive line of clips (many with 'bling' of some sort) and added a group of larger sized flowers in luscious colors (hibiscus, roses, gerbers), sequined bows, sequined butterflies, and pink marabou clips; feather headbands (and a few peacocks); flower scrunches, and a group of hats (rolled brim hats with curly marabou trim and a pink sunhat with large sunflower). A free display is offered to anyone who orders 30 clips or more.

Cutie Pa Tutus Tulle tutus and magic wands Designer: Amanda Moreno Duke Wholesale: $20 Sizes: 6m - size 8 What's the big idea?: Ms. Duke was unable to find a tutu she liked for her daughter to wear at her first 'princess party' so she made her own. There was so much interest, she realized this item (plus matching magic poofy wands, the perfect accessory) would be a good premise for a company. She has since added matching doll pa tutus, pooch pa tutus, pa tutus with coordinating T-shirts, a 'Build your own Pa Tutu' feature, plus Super Cool Hero Capes and masks. The company's tag line is "A whole new 'spin' on tutus".
