DAYLIGHT: Top 11 Brands to Watch According to Peachy Deegan...Accessories the Show, Moda Manhattan and Fame at Javits Center January 8 - 10 2012 in Manhattan
Going to trade shows is nowhere near the top of the list of Peachy Deegan's favorite things to do, but the one she went to yesterday was well done! Brooke Lunski greeted us with enthusiasm at the press office and did everything right-she was the only person affiliated with the show that we had contact with. The show smartly made the men's rooms we saw women's rooms, had luxurious couches to rest on with coffee tables and flowers, and served a nice lunch where we met Cathy Bruin of Bus Stop in Marblehead who was superpleasant. Also they handed out bottled water all around the show which is totally appreciated as going through trade shows is truly a marathon sport. Between The Boat Show on Saturday and this Peachy did walk over a marathon during the times. The next one is February 21-23, same place. We have not reviewed the brands we are about to list at all so this is in no way a recommendation, however, from first glance we think these are the brands to watch, in no particular order:
Toss Designs
Wimberly
Lucy Love Beach Couture
Sno of Sweden
Branigan Weavers
American Beauty Apparel, LLC
Oliphant
Marjorie Baer Accessories, Inc.
Sun 'n' Sand Accessories
Sailormade
Fourrures Optimal Furs Inc.
