ON THE INSIDE WITH MARILYN KIRSCHNER

 

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

 

Itzy Ritzy

Fabric based and eco friendly line of baby accessories, carseat and shopping cart covers, baby bags, baby wear, gift items, toys

Designer: Kelly Douglas

Wholesale: $5 - $50

What's the big idea? The Chicago-based Ms. Douglas is known for her exclusive fabrics and designs (there are 8), for making "something for everyone", and for designing products that make parenting easier. New products include the Ritzy Sitzy high chair (three versatile products in one) and the zippered reusable snack bags (at her booth she encouraged people to take a bag and fill it with the candy from the candy bar she set up for Children's Club).

Gigis

Custom designed unique accessories and apparel for little girls 

Designer: Pam Nickell

Wholesale: $9.50 - $22.50

Sizes: 0 - 8Y, Girls 4 - 6X, Infant, Layette, Toddler

What's the big idea? Taking simple shapes, embellishing and decorating them, and providing unique, round, polka dot gift boxes. While the company began with headgear (bicycle helmet covers to be exact), they now specialize in more product lines (adorable coats and legging sets and soft bucket hats with a large flower). They have also just expanded their best selling and very popular lace grouping: there's a new style of lace Capri leggings and adorable back ruffled lace bloomers.

La Folie

Hand knits with a twist

Designers: Heather Borden Herve, Gayle Greenberger

Wholesale: $9 - $20

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

What's the big idea? The designing duo, who happen to be sisters as well as moms, were intent on creating a line of colorful, eccentric, unusual knitwear for their own kids and the kids of others that would be sophisticated, chic, and anything but predictable, traditional, or childishly "sweet" (this is summed up by their wonderful 'Giggle' and 'Maden Hatter' hats and coordinating scarves and mittens).

L'Amour Shoes

Practical and stylish footwear for the young set

Designer: Cindy Fong

Wholesale: $12 - $25

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

What's the big idea? This is truly a line where you can say, "Like mother like daughter" because there is so much that is obviously fashion forward and trend driven (such as their gold and black sparkly Mary Janes; the black, pink, tan fringed suede zip up boots; the black suede boots with rhinestone peace sign; the brown and black suede boots with fuzzy fleece lining).

Ju-Ju-Be

Diaper bags, bags, and totes

Designer: Kristen Kliese

Wholesale: contact manufacturer

What's the big idea? A collection of high quality, good looking, and very practical diaper bags, messengers, and totes (with eye catching designs and patterns) that have all the bells and whistles one could want. They all have the following features: machine washable, have removable changing pads, the interiors are water resistant and treated with anti-microbial Agion for extra safeguarding, and they are Teflon coated on the outside so as to be stain resistant. The bags are given names that include the word 'Be' (Be All, Be Light, The Mighty Be, JJ Be for dads, etc.) Their tagline is, 'Smart bags for smart people'.
