Today I bring you our final preview of the Kids Instyle trade show, to be held later this month in Sydney.  It’s going to be an incredibly exciting event, and the KidStyleFile team can’t wait to get the inside scoop on amazing new brands and sneak peeks of upcoming collections from some of our existing favourites.  Here’s a final taster of some of the most anticipated exhibitors – and now you’ll have to wait until the event itself to see what else we can show you!

In case you missed them, here are Part One & Part Two of our Kids Instyle previews.

Do you own a children’s store? Register to attend Life Instyle at the Royal Hall of Industries & Horden Pavilion, Sydney between 23-26 February 2012. Note that attendance is open to trade only.

The collections range from nursery through to children’s bed linen and room accessories which are styled and made to last generations. Their products are designed and made in Melbourne.

h. SeeSaw Clothing is a New Zealand brand whose aim is to provide the individual child with luxuriously fun and functional pieces that capture the innocence of today’s child.
i. Lamington, another New Zealand brand, was created by a mother who was fed up with socks that wouldn’t stay on her babies’ feet. She created Sockings, lovely knee-high, merino wool socks designed in a range of colourways which will appeal to all children.

There’s something powerful and exciting about the colour red. It’s vibrant hues are energetic and alive and this matches the vibe at new store Threads of Red – www.threadsofred.com.auto a T.

As Proprietor Liesl sourced unique wears for her own two children she discovered that this passion soon grew into a dream of one day owning her very own store. So, a very loud and proud ta daaa! for her today as she has turned her dreams into reality and opened Threads of Red for business.

Liesl has kept to her strict personal standards and only stocks small run boutique and handmade brands that have that special infusion of love together with classic appeal. Case in point, the divinely eclectic mix of baby and kids clothing and accessory brands at Threads of Red including And Me Too, And The Little Dog Laughed, Aunty Ollie, Electric Boy, Elki, Envirosax, Mini Life, Oishi-M,  Rube & Harri, Twirling Betty, WillowBlu and YKnot?.

Summer fashion delivers a perfect mix of cool and summery little dresses for girls and great summer shorts and tops for little men. If you love accessories, you will love all that’s in store along these lines like fabric visors, headbands and hair clips from Twirling Betty as well as designer accessories like necklaces, cuffs, headbands, belts & brooches from YKnot? (I predict their unique frilled cuffs will be a major trend this summer!). Stylish mamas can rejoice too at the gorgeous range of nappy bags from WillowBlu which come in under $160 – which is a brilliant price point for an Italian leather handbag.
