Hang Ten Gold - Surfing Adventure

Just wanted to update you on the Hang Ten front.....

Our samples are coming along nicely for the debut of the girls collection - and we're headed to San Diego in a few weeks for an authentic So Cal beach photo shoot.

Lots of excitement out there in the marketplace in anticipation of the launch.  We will be showing at the major wholesale shows in New York and Vegas as well as regional shows in LA, Dallas and Atlanta.  Retailers - make sure you add us to your must see list at market!

Ouch Magazine took a look at the latest styles for Hang Ten men's and we thought you might like to take a peek.  Shhh - we'll tell you a secret - see the graphic t third from the left on the top row?  The one with the surfer surfing a rainbow?  You'll see that graphic redone for the girls spring collection - in bright colors - and that surfer - she'll be a girl, of course!

Happy Surfing!

Happy Spring! Or is it Winter?

Well, I know most of you are enjoying spring right now but here's what it looks like at my place:
The deck is reporting about 2 feet of snow!   Since it doesn't feel like spring here - I thought I'd talk about fall and winter.  Denim is a huge trend for the upcoming fall.  And everyone keeps talking about which denim finishes and trims are going to be huge. According to Women's Wear Daily:  "It’s been a decade since denim has seen this much action!"

Here's a rundown of what's hot:
  • Velvet Trim
  • Studs
  • Shredded
  • Printed
  • Cross Dyed
LamanBlu isn't a denim house per se, but we do love it - particularly when it's mixed with Tencel for extra softness or done in some other creative styles to make it lush.  Our take on denim for the season? 

Mix it with lace and velvet ribbons:
 
 
Bring on the prints!

Everything is softer in chambray with a shine:
Reversible Cross - Dyed?  Bring it on!
Who doesn't love the look of denim?  We've even honored it in our washable silk ombre dyed set:
