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.
