I am so excited about our new Tent in a Bag. We have made tents at the park, beach, in hotels, and when the girls were little they were completely obsessed with “stroller forts.”

Remember how we used to pile stacks of books onto heavy blankets and try to make tents at home? NO MORE! Grab our Spring Bean clamps and attach the material to beds, chairs, tables, or even park benches and tree branches. Carabean the cute little bag onto the stroller and head out for some summer fun.

New season equal new styles and washes! Fall is always fun with our dark washes and embellishments. For our girls, expect to see fun tie dye jeggings (jean-leggings) and our new knit ultra skinny - LOLA and our pull on jegging Marly! We still have all our great styles available - but with updated washes. For our boys, we have great washes and a new raw look! So stay tuned for images on our fall line. Sizes start at 2T and go up to 16. All size 2t to 6x (girls) and 7 (boys) have adjustable waistbands. For more on our product, please visit our website. Smile

Have a great week! Laughing

Los Angeles, CA (February 9, 2010) – Leading exhibitors were honored with Outstanding Exhibitor Awards at the California Gift Show® located at the Los Angeles Convention Center and the L.A.
