Kiki’s Nation Makes Life a Beach (Towel)

What’s comfortable to wear and dries quickly when wet? No, it’s not a riddle, it’s the greatest beachwear revolution: towel clothes! The cozy uniform of summer begins with Towel Pants from Kiki’s Nation. These elastic-waist 100% towel pants come in awesome “flavors” as they’re called in the Nation. For the relaxed surfer types, the blue hibiscus jammers are perfectly chill. Chicks can dig those sweet waves, too, with the red hibiscus towel skirt.

If you’ve got the rough and tumble crowd in your shop, the blue camo towel pants will have them shouting “Hoo-rah.” More money, more problems? Not with the awesome Money Jammers with black on one side and the picture of bills on the other.

Kiki’s Nation goes beyond pants, jammers and skirts. To accessorize, carry the best bag of the summer. The Multi Peace Sign Bag will hold all they’ve got without getting soaked. It pairs perfectly with the Multi Tie Dye Pants. Towel-clad members of Kiki’s Nation wear life proudly by the pool, at the beach, hanging around the house or wherever they go.

MerFins Make Waves

Generations have fallen in love with the melodious mermaid, Ariel. Now aspiring Ariels can act out their favorite scenes from the classic Disney film with MerFins, imaginative beachwear that lets them morph from legs to fins. Mahina founded Mahina Mermaid in 2006 and is the company’s chief designer. Inspired by her ocean adventures, she set about developing her range of quality mermaid fins.

The MerFin is soft, flexible and functional and provides the speed and agility of any fish in the ocean. It is a great pool toy, a wonderful snorkeling fin or swimming device for fitness. It is safe to use; with just one flick of the ankle strap, the legs are free. As the Merpeople are never complete without their scales, Mahina also offers matching mermaid swim tights and bikinis.

The Merworld is protected, too. MerFins are composed with recycled rubber materials. This will be a perfect addition to your bathing suit boutique. The MerFin Package includes MerFins, swim tights and bikini, priced from $89 to $189 retail, and is available in sizes XS-L.

Picture Perfect Summer in Kaeli Smith Designs

Forget capris at camp, the coolest little girls are rocking resort wear just like mommy. Maybe one of the greatest things about Kaeli Smith Designs is that the designer herself is practically a kid! At 20, she has been selling her original works of art and prints since she was in high school. Her watercolors are a unique combination of painting and collaging that create dimensional pieces that jump off the paper and into some rocking resort wear perfect for a garden party or a kids’ cruise.

Take the Tropical Twist. You’ll practically be smelling honeysuckle and lilacs in a flower pattern you’d expect to see hanging in a museum. Sail with Me is perfect on a yacht or just a casual dinner near the water. Kids will love the recognizable pattern, parents will love the array of colors, including a red and blue combination that begs to be part of a 4th of July celebration.

Kaeli combines fun and energetic prints with timeless tops, bottoms and dresses. You can see the unique influence of her hometown Annapolis, as well as the suggestion of warm, tropical beaches.

Beachfront Baby Wraps Water Babies

Bringing a baby to the beach should be a peaceful way to pass a summer’s day. But for moms who want to hold baby close while still helping sibling swimmers, it’s a slippery situation. Until Beachfront Baby solved the problem with sport & water wrap baby carriers that allow parents to wear their babies in the shower, at the beach, or the local pool.

These sport & water wrap carriers are a must have for the summer! 100% polyester jersey lends breathability with just the right amount of stretch. The fabric feels like a lightweight, silky swimsuit which keeps it light in the water and quick-drying. Unlike other water baby carriers, there are no buckles, snaps or neoprene – just a long piece of comfortable cloth with tapered ends.

While it may not seem to be the easiest wrap to figure out at first, a photo instruction brochure with babywearing safety information and tips is included with each wrap to make sure your customers are using it right.

Beachfront Baby is available in 10 colors, including key lime, paradise mum and tropical punch. The clear packaging will allow for easy display, and is also 100% recyclable and biodegradable.
