Recap of the Summer Sales Meeting

Although the annual summer sales meeting is over, the excitement is still around. I had the privilege of seeing fabulous collections, friendly faces and fresh inspirations from around the world.

We kicked off Friday with new product from the Fabricut and Trend brands. Fabricut introduced 17 new collections, including one licensed collection of fabrics and trimmings from the French General.

The next morning, we saw new product from Stroheim, Vervain and S. Harris. Stroheim introduced three new palettes to the Color Gallery collection: Moonstone, Pumpkin and Spearmint.

Stroheim also added A La Mode, a new collection of trimmings. This collection has been meticulously manufactured by a French mill on antique wooden looms.
Because wallcoverings are becoming more popular, Stroheim is launching a new color book series called PALETTES. The series will begin with three color books: PALETTES Mineral, PALETTES Neutral and PALETTES Spice.

Vervain and S. Harris introduced new patterns that range from grand statement pieces to complementary solids.
