Picaflor, organiser of the Playtime Paris, New York, and Shanghai trade shows, is introducing Kid’s Hub New York, a service to link up brands and buyers.

From 1-3 August 2021, Kid’s Hub New York will bring together more than 80 brands for the presentation of their s/s 22 collections; a capsule edition to reconnect in real life in preparation for a wider-scale edition in 2022.

Kid’s Hub will open its doors at the same time and in the same place as the Playtime trade show, at New York’s Metropolitan Pavilion. For the first time, all market categories will be brought together with this full alliance of two complementary events.

Commenting is Sebastian De Hutten, CEO of Picaflor.

“We have had a presence in the United States for more than 20 years with Playtime New York and Kid’s Hub Las Vegas. The Playtime show performs very well in its sector but doesn’t cover the entirety of US buyers’ needs.

“With Kid’s Hub, we wish to offer a quality alternative to brands and buyers who don’t find themselves in the Playtime NY selection, while nevertheless creating a strong synergy between both events, which will benefit the American children’s fashion industry as a whole.”

Amongst the 80 exhibitors includes Joules; Appaman; Splendid; Old Soles; Magnetic Me; Flap Happy; Sara’s Prints; Vintage Havana; Huxbaby; Mish Mish; Stella Cove and Malibu Sugar.
