Fall Is in the Air for Retailers

JWORLD New York

Retail buyers are already shopping and preparing for the fall/winter seasons. According to the National Retailer Federation, a family typically spends over $600 on back-to-school fall fashions and products for children. Spotting trends in colors is always part of the process; soft grays and muted florals are appearing for cool-weather collections. Even holiday attire is renewed with both traditional hues, and also different shades of green and pink combinations.

Of course, a complete fall work-up for kids includes more than just everyday wear and accessories. Children also require special occasion clothes, mix-and-match pieces, sports gear, and backpacks. Giggle Moon, Fleurisse & Léon, JWORLD and Moon et Miel are among the many brands helping buyers get ready for the fall rush and generate increased sales with functional, trendy products for children.

Giggle Moon Promotes Love, Joy and Laughter

Giggle Moon
A company that follows the philosophy that “children are a gift” deserves space in retail stores. After all, retailers can rest on the fact that everything designed and produced will have comfort, style, and quality at the forefront — and customers will notice. With the Giggle Moon launch into larger sizes for girls, customers can now wrap their precious girls in comfort from their entry into the world until second grade (sizes infant to Cool.

The California-based company is not shy about sharing its corporate values, evident in every piece in their collections. “We strive to keep the innocence of children, using the softest fabrics that are heirloom quality. Our customers also really enjoy the colors we choose that emphasize ‘Love, Joy and Laughter’,” adds Michelle Clark of Giggle Moon.

When the weather gets cooler, parents want cute outfits that match the glamour of the season. Giggle Moon’s Cuddle Grey Swing Set in shades of trendy grey and pale gold is a winning choice. The Pumpkin Pie Tutu Dress with leggings is just the thing for harvest time. Other best sellers include party dresses and Madison sets.

JWORLD: NY Fashion Preps for School Days

JWORLD New York
A sturdy carrier is necessary for every back-to-school wardrobe, so why not provide the best for your customers? JWORLD is a veteran in the business, operating since 1983, and brings the edgy style of New York trends to the functional world of backpacks. Families already recognize the quality of the bags, available in 25 countries.

Elementary school kids appreciate the kid-sized rolling backpacks in vibrant styles and colors, including the Monkey2 (in green and pink) and the Frogy (in orange and yellow). At 17” x 10” x 10”, these packs with adjustable/detachable straps are a perfect fit for back to school.

Older children like the roomy Kiddy style, available in neon red or neon green. This backpack sports a padded handle topside and comes with an additional shoe bag — a particular boon to parents when the slushy season arrives and kids need to have another pair of shoes to wear in school.

The Warmth of a Mother’s Love from Moon et Miel

Moon et Miel
As the cooler weather creeps in, the urge to snuggle up in cozy clothing takes over. This is something mompreneur and mother of four children Amelie Darras understands. Darras brings the warmth and comfort of fine fitting children’s fashion to design with Moon et Miel (French for “Moon and Honey”). Inspired by the style of Moroccan and Indian artisans, Moon et Miel offers quality that makes autumn evenings more comfortable.

The company produces clothing for children up to ten years old. Little girls 6-12 months will enjoy the roomy design of the 100% cotton Annette Dress in lavender with soft silver polka dots. Delicate ballet slippers in an array of deep jewel tones are easy-on, easy-off so sleepy little dancers can pirouette right into their dreams.

The 100% Baby Alpaca Cover is a perfect match for the Cream Baby Hat; both show a glitter of woven golden thread throughout.
