Children's Club August 2010 - Established Lines: A Show for All Seasons in the Accessories, Gifts and Footwear Markets - Part I
Trend driven line of bags, fashion, hair accessories and clothing Designers: Corey Glasberg; Jamie Glasberg Wholesale: $3 - $20 Ages: Tweens Standouts: The always popular tie-dyed back to school messenger bags and backpacks; the adjustable fun bracelets with charms; the charm Bracelets made with Murano beach glass; the Rubber Bandz necklaces and rings sold in gift pack sets (3 bracelets in a pack, 12 pieces in a pack); the peace sign plastic headband; the re-colored tie dyed T-shirts with thermal sleeves.
FYI: The Long Island-based designing brothers don't only stay on top of the trends, they are proud to point out that they are "always one step ahead of the game". They wanted to take their ever popular rubber 'bandz' collection to the "next generation" so they created their new Tie-Dye Rubber Bandz necklaces and rings and they are also offering tie-dye, glitter, glow in dark rings, bracelet keepers, and necklace keepers.

Edgy and fun clothing and accessories for little boys and girls Designer: Rose Jannuzzi Wholesale: $4.50 - $44 Sizes: Girls 4 - 6X, Girls 7 - 14, Infant, Toddler Standouts: The brand new Calendar Collection, a collaboration with Kicky Pants (T-shirts and overalls made of bamboo, provided by Kicky Pants, are appliquéd with Jannuzzi designs symbolic of each of the 12 months of the year); the gift packaged appliquéd one-pieces and burp cloths.
FYI: They get a lot of press and in fact, in March, Entertainment Tonight's Mark Steines visited new dad Charlie Sheen on the set of his new movie and brought with him a gift basket of Jannuzzi clothes for his twin boys. Rose Jannuzzi first started making hand embellished tanks for women in 2005, and they were such a big hit, customers began asking them to make matching outfits for babies. Customizing and personalization are still very big parts of their business and they continue to expand worldwide. Tel: 888 725 4222 E-mail: info@jannuzziclothing.com
