| The Green Garmento, filled with drycleaning |
The Green Garmento is like a reusable bag for groceries, except that it is for clothes. It eliminates the drycleaning bag. At home, the bag serves as a hamper. Then it becomes a tote bag for the trip to the drycleaner. On the return trip to pick up clothes, the Green Garmento is a garment bag.

from a press release
October 20, 2010/PRNewswire/ -- The colorful Dutch clothing label which has been brightening up the world since 1963, has made a full comeback. A year after being bought back by its founders, Oilily has launched its first childrenswear collection. It is also working hard on a womenswear collection, accessories and a variety of lifestyle products.
After the previous management filed for bankruptcy in 2009, it seemed as if Oilily would disappear. Its founders, the Olsthoorn family, were unable to bear this thought. They bought back the brand, determined to turn the Oilily brand back once again into a global brand.
This season the new childrenswear collection, which is the mainstay of Oilily, is available in shops in 40 countries including China, Japan, Korea, and the United States. The 'Gipsy Tales of Freedom' collection was inspired by gypsies and other free spirits and mixes classic and modern influences from different cultures. Most striking are the special details, the handmade traditional folk-style embroidery and the high quality. This is Oilily as you all know it.
Oilily is particularly known for its children's and women's clothing. However, the refreshing nature of the brand also fits lifestyle products very well. Over the coming years Oilily will concentrate on designing a unique lifestyle alongside its high-end clothing collection. The key word for Oilily is renewal. This new strategy is highlighted by a brand new philosophy: make
new things happen.
Oilily has for some time also operated Oililyshop.com, aimed at the European market, where clothing, bags, accessories, cosmetics, shoes and everything that Oilily designs is available. The first new womenswear collection is also available exclusively on the site. Due to the high demand
for Oilily products in the United States, an online shop for the American market will be launched in 2011.

Dallas gift market selects new product winner
press release
Clothes and Go Selected as The Next Big Thing Winner
Dallas Market Center announces its national product search contest winner
DALLAS – June 28, 2010 – Dallas Market Center, the world’s most complete wholesale
marketplace, recently announced The Next Big Thing winner, Clothes and Go. The Next Big Thing is a national search for the best new products from throughout the country.
The winner was announced during the Dallas Total Home & Gift Market on Saturday, June 26, and awarded a prize package worth more than $15,000 including $5,000 cash, exhibit space at the January 2011 Total Home & Gift Market, a feature profile in one of Dallas Market Center’s award-winning publications, and consultations from leading industry experts regarding branding, public relations, visual merchandising and much more.
“Clothes and Go is a great product that fulfills a compelling consumer need,” said Bill Winsor, president and CEO, Dallas Market Center. “We are thrilled to introduce them to the marketplace and to work with them over the next several months as they build a successful business.”
Clothes and Go was selected from three contest finalists including Sand Gone and Sutton Baking Cups. The finalists received airfare, hotel and exhibit space to show their products during Market in front of more than 50,000 attendees.
Clothes and Go, based in Dallas, Texas, is a unique solution for moving clothing on hangers. Clothes are removed from the closet on hangers, placed in the Clothes and Go bag and then easily carried and put in a vehicle. It eliminates the need for traditional moving boxes and hanging rods while taking a fraction of the time to move. Clothes and Go is made of durable, lightweight, water resistant material that includes ties to attach hangers, Velcro to secure the items, and handles to carry the bag over the shoulder.
Myra Prescott and Julie Tobolowsky, founders of Clothes and Go, are best friends and sisters-in-law. Between the two of them, they have moved several children back and forth to college as well as moved their families from home to home. They dreaded the challenge of moving clothes and decided to find a solution. After years of development, Clothes and Go was born.
For more information on The Next Big Thing finalists: Clothes and Go, www.clothesandgo.com, www.sandgone.com and www.suttongourmetpaper.com.

October) each year. Retail buyers are offered new lines and products at Dallas Market Center throughout its permanent showrooms and temporary exhibition space.
