Editorial Director’s Product Picks
During the recent June market week, I visited a few showrooms on the 6th floor at the California Market Center, Los Angeles. There is so much new product to see and discover, a buyer could easily spend several days shopping and not see it all. I visited several showrooms that are members of Kids on 6, a co-op association of permanent showrooms at the California Market Center, Los Angeles. They work together to promote the many benefits retailers find year-round on the 6th floor. I noticed that all the showrooms have spiffed up their product displays, added welcoming touches for retailers, and have added new products from their existing brands, while adding new lines, especially in gift and non-seasonal products.

Here is Part 1 of my personal picks from my recent visit:

The Giggle Guide™ showcases three innovators that stand out in the novelty sock category. Feeturing… Zooni, Trumpette and LittleMissMatched !
