Gemma Bella Bracelets

Selling to thousands of retailers, both in the U.S. and internationally, Gemma Bella has placed itself in the middle of the ladies fashion industry. Owner Vicki Papachristos has established her brand by selling beautiful and affordable designer inspired fashion jewelry, handbags and embellished glitter caps and visors. Papachristos has to admit, however, that her top-selling line comes in the form of bracelets. While trend reports have highlighted the bracelet as a must have accessory in comparison with necklaces, earrings and more, Gemma Bella’s... 

The Pet Head

The Pet Head, a throwback novelty item from the early ‘90s, has returned to the retail market in full force. The desktop companion provides a little laughter and distraction from the taxing and nerve-wracking moments of the day.

By raising the level of hi-tech development and simplifying manual instructions, toy and electronic manufacturers have leveled the playing field in which both children and adults can interact with the same alluring and sophisticated playthings. Recognizing... 

Fragrances, Scents & More!

Wholesalers and retailers agree that fragrances and scented products transcend age and gender, meeting the needs of a diverse clientele. However, even though products like body oils, perfumes, incense sticks, burning oils and more have broad appeal and fast turnover, suppliers still strive to ensure a competitive advantage by providing top of the line customer service and unlimited choices. For example, Heavenly Body Products carries not only a full line of lotions and body oils, but also air fresheners and its expanding line of burning oils. With...

Reliable E-Cig Resource

Now with over 500,000 Americans using the e-cigarette (e-cig) and over 21 scientific studies of e-cig constituencies, retailers are well advised to separate fact from fiction about the new technology smokers are using daily.

With over 150,000...

Mass Vision Fashions

Sunglasses are an important part of any seasonal wardrobe, a must have accessory to tie the whole line together for today’s fashionistas. Today’s sunglass designs offer quality and advanced features, but also a vogue element, making the buying decision more about colors, shapes, styles and runway name brands rather than necessity. Mass Vision, a sunglasses wholesale provider, writes on its blog, “It is very common to see sunglasses worn by the hottest celebrities become popular overnight. Once a movie star or socialite is photographed wearing... 

Pinups & Trendy Purses

Keeping up with fashion is an ongoing process, and retailers are well advised to set aside some time at least every season to stock up on the latest trends in apparel and accessories, including handbags. For retailers to be prepared, their wholesale suppliers such as Aliz International have to put in the leg work, investigating and testing trends for the seasons to come.
