Retailer and exhibitor commitments build momentum for Cadeaux, the luxury gift collection at JCK

WHITE PLAINS, NY, March 12 2007 – Leading manufacturers and retailers of luxury resources have confirmed their participation in the premiere edition of Cadeaux, The Luxury Gift Collection at JCK, launching June 1-5, 2007, at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Market participants from both sides of the aisle cite the show’s new business opportunities, cross-merchandising potential and time/cost efficiencies as motivating factors.

“Independent jewelry retailers are attracted by the breadth of luxury gift merchandise that now will be available as part of JCK, while luxury gift retailers that previously have not shopped the market are drawn to the event’s new business offerings,” commented Leslie Nathan-Street, senior vice president, George Little Management, LLC (GLM). “Manufacturers appreciate the benefits of the show’s unique access and exposure to specialty retailers.”

As the gift industry’s first gift event devoted exclusively to luxury products, the show is attracting both domestic and international companies across all categories, including tabletop, home accessories, fashion accessories, pet accessories, men’s accessories and leather accessories. Confirmed exhibitors include Ameico, Andrea Levine, Budd Leather, Cipolla, Debbie Brooks, Edgar Berebi, Eccola, Evergreen Crystal, Ferrare with Company, Geoffrey Parker Games, Glenda Gies, Hedy Manon, Imports D’Italia, Incolay, International EyeGear, Signature Engraving Systems, JuliaKnight America, Laguiole en Aubrac, Verlu, Philippa Kunisch Jewellery, Philmore, RCR/Calp USA, RedStart, Royal Copenhagen, St. Petersburg Collection (Faberge Family), Stewart/Sand and Thistle & Bee, among others.

“Thistle & Bee has decided to participate in the first Cadeaux, The Luxury Gift Collection at JCK because of the opportunity to meet a quality group of retailers we do not have the occasion to meet at other markets,” Francis Lee, vice president, Thistle & Bee.

The first annual Cadeaux, The Luxury Gift Collection at JCK will take place Friday, June 1 through Tuesday, June 5, 2007, at the Las Vegas Convention Center, in Las Vegas, NV. The show will present some 150 luxury brands. As part of a cooperative agreement between GLM and Reed Exhibitions, Cadeaux will be collocated with JCK (Jewelers Circular Keystone) Market, the most comprehensive jewelry show in the United States, presenting 3,300 exhibitors. Together, the two shows will attract more than 20,000 industry professionals.
