October 15, 2023 – Tina Barry Editor’s Picks
At the LC Collections Kids’ Showroom booth at the recent spring-summer 2024 Playtime NYC wholesale children’s apparel and accessories trade show, Planet Sea unveiled jewel-toned blues and emeralds, and toiles that breathe new life into the classic pattern. The print has never looked fresher than on boyswear, like the Riviera Dream pocket T-shirt over shorts, and the Long Sleeve Rashguard worn with Summer in Algarve shorts. (2-12 years)

The girl on the left wears the Riviera Dream dress that closes with a jaunty tie in the back. Her friend’s bikini is hand-crocheted. All Planet Sea fabrications, which are soft to the hand and dry quickly, are made from fully-recycled “Ocean Eco” materials, such as plastic bottles. (2-12 years)

From Planet Sea‘s Green Forest theme: The girls will be out of the woods and into the ocean, with swimsuits made of soft ribbed Lycra. (2-12 years)
