By Edited by Megan Smalley

The reorganization will help buyers shop cross-category selections more easily at the July 17-21 buying event.

This Summer, ANDMORE plans to reorganize the gift and home temporary exhibits at Atlanta Market to provide buyers with a refreshed showcase. The gift and home temporary exhibits will offer some 1,400 brands across seven curated categories for comprehensive sourcing July 17-21 at AmericasMart Atlanta.

“The temporaries at Atlanta Market are the place to be for the dynamic shopper,” says Dorothy Belshaw, ANDMORE president. “With a mix of traditional items and never-before-seen brands, buyers are given the unique opportunity to discover and branch out, no matter the product category.”

The reimagined temporaries will now feature brands through seven umbrella categories: Cash & Carry, Fashion Accessories, Gift, High Design, Home, Kitchen + Table and Makers Hub. The temporaries will be featured on eight floors in Buildings 2 and 3 of AmericasMart Atlanta. ANDMORE says this positioning allows buyers to shop cross-category selections in more concentrated, journey-driven neighborhoods.

Among a new class of innovative and emerging exhibitors, some names include A Second Round Glass LLC (upcycled glassware); and the little dog laughed (soft and plush toys and newborn gifts); Authentic Models (handcrafted furniture and ornaments); Charlie Bears North America Inc. (plush bears); declan (children’s clothing); Doing Goods (home accessories); Elia Parfum (fragrance); and more.

Existing product categories will be reorganized into the following groupings:

  • Cash & Carry combines Cash & Carry and Luxe;
  • Fashion Accessories combines Accessories Council, Boutique, Gentlemen’s Boutique, Jewelry and Fashion Accessories & Apparel;
  • Gift combines Body + Soul, Spa Products, Children’s World, Modern Child, General Gift, www.AtlantaMarket.com/Exhibitor-DirectorOn Trend Gifts, Seasonal Gifts, Outdoor Living, Noted Village and Emerging Brands;
  • High Design combines High Design, Modern Maker and Luxe;
  • Home combines Home Accents, Home Furnishings, Fine Linens, Home Textiles, Luxe, Seasonal Gifts and Outdoor Living;

  • Makers Hub combines Handmade Designs, Handmade Jewelry, Emerging Artist, Made in America, Global Designs, The Gallery Collection (MSA) and Museum Gifts.

Some notable brands across categories include Rant & Rave (jewelry) in Cash & Carry; Julie Vos (jewelry) in Fashion Accessories; The Naked Bee (natural skincare products) in Gift; Cavallini Papers & Co. (gift and stationery) in High Design; Blomus (functional kitchen, bath, outdoor and home decor) in Home; Louis Sherry Chocolates (premium chocolate and tins) in Kitchen + Table; and Pretty Alright Goods (greeting cards and gifts) in Makers Hub.
