NEW SLIDES RECOGNIZED
Our new leather slides selected for the Fashion Runway at NYNOW
NY NOW®, the Market for Home, Lifestyle FEB 2020.
After a careful and thorough evaluation of hundreds of submissions, judges have selected our new product to be included in the Fashion Runway at the upcoming winter market. NY NOW begins on February 1 at New York City’s Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.
To complement our popular towels, at this show we are introducing handmade leather slides called Baboosh in vibrant hues. The slides are designed in Australia and made in Tunisia and are an exciting addition to any wardrobe- perfect for home and travel.
“NY NOW truly is a global stage for designers to share their craft with buyers and the industry alike,” said Randi Mohr, Co-Director and Vice President, NY NOW.
Focalpoint Home has been attending NY Now for eight years and have previously been recognized for our sustainability. The NY Now selectors chose our wool blankets to be shown as part of the Sustainability exhibit at the winter 2014 show. The Sustainability: design for a better world® display is a curated exhibit of global gift and home industry suppliers whose products or production processes are eco-friendly, or companies whose business practices are socially responsible, philanthropic or fair-trade oriented.
