Playtime New York

“We were thrilled with the launch of Playtime New York and are truly looking forward to further developing the show,” said Sébastien de Hutten, event director. “We expect the March event to be bigger and better.”

Playtime New York offers a comprehensive international selection of today’s best collections in the children’s and maternity marketplace. The show encompasses infant and children’s clothing, shoes and accessories, baby gear, toys, deco/design products, childcare and maternity.

The 25,000 square foot space features a loft design, brick walls, hardwood flooring, cast iron columns and arched passageways.
