Between the Shows: January 13, 2009 Editor's Note: Some of our sponsor companies prefer to keep their children's businesses out of the national and regional trade show circuits (or at least not attend all the shows every season). So to keep you abreast of collections you won't find (or find infrequently) in trade venues, we've started this new column. We think you'll like our "Between the Shows" reviews as much as you've told us you enjoy our "Trade Show Reports" coverage.
MELONTREE Homebase: Longview, TX DESIGNER: Denise Browder Children's Sizes: Older toddlers through teens; Wholesale prices: $6 "Melontree leg and arm warmers were created for my six-year-old daughter, Grace. Living in East Texas, the weather is often unpredictable. It may be cooler in the morning and hotter in the afternoon. Our leg and arm warmers add an extra layer of warmth. They are more comfortable than tights and look great on the arms too," says designer and owner Denise Browder. Knit from 85 percent cotton with polyester and spandex for stretch, Melontree is sized long so they're scrunchy and cute on toddlers and able to fit the longer limbs of teenagers as well. The collection is made in the USA and is sweatshop free. For Fall 2009, buyers can choose from Melontree's classic argyle and dot patterns, or, says Browder, "hip, trendy patterns including pretty flowers, bold stripes, funky dots, cool skulls, princess crowns and many other designs perfect for boys or girls."
Skulls, skulls and more skulls.
