In spite of the sluggish economy, the childrenswear market continues to thrive. Again in 2008, it outperformed all other apparel segments. New brands continue to be introduced on a frequent basis — and by everyone from entrepreneurial moms to well-known women’s fashion designer labels.
This bodes well for the resale market! Which we predict will also continue to thrive. While in the past 5+ years, we’ve seen surges of on-line resale from big designer retailers like BabyGap, GapKids, Gymboree and Hanna Andersson, we predict the next wave on-line resale will expand to higher end designer brands, as designer newcomers continue to push brand awareness into the marketplace.
