I'm going to arrange this listing of the newest items available at the various wholesale trade shows and throughout the year differently than what I did in the past. The latest will be on top, but any shop or designer that posts a large group of new items on their website or blog or Instagram/Facebook page will be in BOLD letters and highlighted in yellow. I won't put those in a different section any more. Hope this works well for you!
Note that you will need a Facebook or Instagram account to see items posted on most social media pages. Sorry.
The upcoming trade shows for 2025 are not open to the public. Only the designers and shops can go to these:
