ON THE INSIDE WITH MARILYN KIRSCHNER

 

March 2010 Children's Club: Established Lines - Part II

 

Four Peas

Toddler 'chic' bags

Designer: Casey Baca

Wholesale: $1.25 - $32

What's the big idea? This mom of four has 4 children, hence the name Four Peas. Known for their easy-to-clean, practical, whimsically patterned (robots, monkeys, sharks, stripes, dots, etc.) school perfect backpacks, duffels, and lunch bags, Ms. Baca recently added drawstring bags, supply bags, pencil bags, and well priced key chains and luggage tags to their popular line. Her tagline is "Kids bags that look good. Real good".

Ewers

High quality European legwear line for infants through teens

Wholesale: $4 - $16

Sizes: Baby - 16 years old

What's the big idea? This well established German brand, which has been in business for over 100 years, is represented by Lolligo and known worldwide for its colorful high quality legwear for boys and girls (they use no chemicals in production); their basic ankle socks are best sellers but they also add new fashion forward styles each season and for fall, they have added Capri leggings (some with ruffle trim on the bottom), and tights in lots of colors.

Myself Belts

Belts that kids can fasten themselves

Designer: Danielle Eason

Wholesale: $7.45 - $25

Sizes: Boys 4 - 7, Girls 4 - 6X, Toddler

What's the big idea? A line of good looking "Belts that kids can fasten themselves" (which is their tagline). In addition to promoting  independence and boosting self esteem for the kids, the belts can be used by adults with disabilities. New this season are the more casual leather belts (the distressed brown leather stands out), the addition of more solids which are perfect for personalizing and monogramming, and the little girls' flower belt. Madonna's daughter was photographed wearing the silver metallic heart belt.
