Spring 2022 - 4

New trends and
products arrive
at Atlanta Market
Buyers continue to choose Atlanta
Market for cross-category shopping with
ease. At Winter Market, several exhibitors
noted retailers looking for puzzle, jewelry
and clothing lines to expand their product
mix. Other trends include loungewear and
inspirational books and cards.
According to Vicky Mutterties, owner
of Tango Reps, specific brands like True
South Puzzles, Megan Brown Jewelry
and Cobblestone Living were especially
popular in January.
" People want products that have a little
more meaning behind them, " Mutterties
said. " I tend to think it's more about
the type of companies people will buy
from - the companies with charitable
givebacks and stronger values. "
One such company is True South
Puzzles, a company founded in Nashville,
Tennessee. The company works
with local artists to create puzzles for
people of all ages. Part of True South
Puzzles' mission is to support nonprofit
organizations that leave an impact.
Proceeds from select puzzles benefit
nonprofit organizations such as Nashville
Humane Association, Friends of Great
Smoky Mountains National Park and St.
Jude's Children's Research Hospital.

among buyers at AmericasMart.
Her jewelry line offers affordable
necklaces, bracelets, earrings and
more. Meghan Browne keeps up with
all the trends and provides a fresh line
of jewelry to fit any wardrobe.
" The jewelry line, Meghan Browne, did
really well. It's affordable; it's on-trend;
she knows how to choose styles and she
can deliver quickly, " Mutterties said.
Cobblestone Living was another
popular line in the Tango showroom
at Atlanta Market this winter. The line
features different varieties of products
such as women's clothing, jewelry,
travel accessories, luggage sets and
tote bags. These timeless products are
produced in Italy and especially caught
the eye of buyers.
" (Buyers) are going to find products
that they may not see in other places. Our
products are thought-through, they're not
mass-market. They're made for boutiquestyle
retailers and there will always be
something fresh, " Mutterties said.

A few floors up, The Link Companies
expect to see continued growth in trends
in casual apparel, fashion accessories
and gifts.
World's Softest Socks, a sock
company made for people of all ages,
sold particularly well at January Market,
according to Brad Rosenkampff, CPO
and managing partner at The Link
Companies. World's Softest Socks was
founded by Crescent Sock Company and
is American-made.
" Casual apparel is still big even coming
out of COVID, " Rosenkampff said.
" People are still definitely dressing as
casual and comfortable as ever. "
