Summer of Love comes to LA Mart By Jess Schmidt

{Sponsored} With the unique, artist-driven products buyers know they can find at LA Mart continuing to fill showrooms, buyers can trust that their trip to this year’s Summer Market will bring not only the products their customers want, but also the inspiration for laying out their stores to increase sales. Coupled with the laid back ambiance and exciting “Summer of Love” theme, Summer Market is the destination for stocking shelves with the brands customers are seeking.

This themed week will include décor throughout the venue, themed staff attire, a cocktail party Saturday night as well as the reflections of the theme in several standout showrooms.

“We are so happy to have the Mary Hada Group come back for their sophomore turn here at the LA Mart’s Temps LA,” said Frank Joens, senior vice president and general manager at LA Mart Gift + Home + Design Center. Mary Hada is based in San Francisco and represents sensibility that reflects California and San Francisco, the original home of the 1960s and ’70s Summer of Love movement. They will be showcasing a set of exquisite product lines.

A rep organization new to LA Mart, Humboldt Artisans Group, will be opening a new 3,500-square-foot showroom for Summer Market that will fit right in with

the Summer of Love theme.

“Their artist-driven lines are hip, groovy and cool, which undoubtedly reflect our Summer Market theme,” Joens said.

Beyond the unique gifts and the exciting theme, buyers can look forward to some delightful surprises at Summer

Market along with one-of-a-kind products, and merchandising inspiration that will create stimuli that buyers can bring home with them. The finds here will set shops apart from the competition.
