For its winter edition at Parc Floral on 27-29 January 2024, Playtime Paris will present brands offering fashion, lifestyle and parenthood collections. Over 300 brands will present their a/w 24-25 collections selected to reflect the needs and wants of parents and children in terms of product, design, price, materials, production and respect for the environment.
Exhibitors are primarily from Europe, with France, Spain, The Netherlands and Denmark leading the way. However, there is an increased presence from US-based brands, including Rylee + Cru Collective, The Sunday Collective, Misha & Puff, Charlie Banana and the fashion and parenthood brand 7AM Enfant. There will also be marked returns from the UK, including The Bonnie Mob, Main Story, Caramel, Claude & Co, Mabli Knits, East End Highlanders and Wynken.
From avant-garde to essential international labels
This season will see a spotlight on fashion (74%), lifestyle (20%) and shoe brands (7%), with the varied offer reflecting the increasing number of buyers looking to stock a wider selection of products in their stores, some of whom cater to the entire family. Playtime also positions itself as a guide for the kids’ fashion and lifestyle industry by including around 100 new brands each season, as well as curating dedicated spaces that highlight these brands.
