Melanie Anderson is first an artist; she began the koochi ku line to create wearable pieces of art. With an eye toward European style, her pieces are well crafted, beautiful, and affordable. Inspired by the birth of her son, she followed her passion for vibrant colors and began making high-style wool jackets and accessories for children. Melanie individually designs and creates each item, and takes great personal pride in each article carrying the koochi ku label.

In Play Showroom, located at The California Market Center in downtown L.A., has earned a quality reputation as an experienced, trend-setting rep room. The spirited team at In Play enjoys plenty of laughter and good-natured fun, but is definitely there to “work it!” Owner Sandra Martinez shares all the praise and success with her team of hard-working sales reps. We recently met up with Sandra to discuss what makes her work like play, and most importantly, how she plays to win for herself, her associates and the manufacturers she represents with unsurpassed style.

We have all experienced firsthand that “fashion is fickle.” However, unlike most fleeting fads and trends, Victorian style has influenced fashion design for centuries, as the classic lines and exquisite details never grow old. Powell Craft emulates the style of the Victorian Era and provides a “time machine” in which retailers can import goods reminiscent of a bygone age of English cottages in the rose-scented countryside. Offering timeless elegance and beauty, Powell Craft’s Old World designs are here to stay!

Remember the beautifully painted tea sets and porcelain candy boxes lovingly displayed at Grandma’s house? Such family antiques were treasures passed tenderly down from generation to generation. As pieces became lost or damaged through accidents of use and time, however, the tradition of passing down such family heirlooms has waned. Fortunately, the wholesale distributor and importer Hand and Heart is helping to renew the tradition with its distinctive selection of over 4,000 high-quality ceramics, collectibles and fashion accessories.

“Making something from nothing” used to be just an expression that described someone’s creativity and ingenuity. In today’s age of environmental concerns and attention on “going green,” some businesses now literally make something from nothing, turning what most would consider trash into treasures. By reusing and re-purposing as much as possible, Shains, TerraCycle and Ecoist are a few companies that are turning the message of “tread lightly, use less and leave less” into innovative eco-business enterprises!
