Walk on the Wild Side

By Dorothy Creamer, Editor
Greetings etc.

Fashion experts have predicted that animal prints will continue to be a popular trend on runways for 2010. For those who might not quite be ready to step out sporting a tiger-striped frock, there is good news! What happens in fashion generally is mimicked in areas of home décor and yes…even the stationery and gift industry.

"I believe animal prints stay so popular because it can be used so diversely in different styles from traditional black and white zebra to pink and green," Sue Russell, CEO & founder of Mayfair Lane, explains. "It is fun to see everyone’s interpretations." We have been seeing wild patterns appearing on items that are sure to add some safari sizzle to stores' product mixes.

The Isabella Scripture Gift Collection from Brownlow Gifts combines a funky zebra print with a trendy pink and lime palette for a fun, feminine style. The line includes six fashion notes, 12 designer pens, six magnetic note pads, six notepad gift sets, six purse notes and six pocket journals in an acrylic displayer. The display is listed at a wholesale price of $144. For more information, visit www.brownlowgift.com.

Demdaco has introduced Wild About You!, a playful line of wine and accessories for entertaining. Animal stripes and spots are coordinated with bold pinks and limes plus monogrammed options on bottle stoppers, tags, spreaders and more. Prices range from $2.50 to $19 wholesale.

The zebra-striped Happeez Clippers from Mayfair Lane utilize a revolutionary material that grips to slick surfaces, including stainless steel refrigerators, with no residue. It's a stylish way to post reminders, children's artwork and to-do lists. For more information, visit www.mayfairlane.com.
