 Designers have stated openly that they are in desperate need for a solution to te production issue. They are clear they are looking first for production in Brooklyn, then they are looking towards the caribbean and Africa.
Well The Africans made it to us first. Our meeting with the West African Trade hub proved very informativ. they brought samples and pitched their production fascilities. With production Capacity from a gross to 50,000 and dutyfree shipping and an empowerment zone, they followed up with a second meeting.
Those in attendence left with a valuable directory of factories, manufacturers and suppliers. It will be interesting to see this time next year how things gave progressed!
We are hoping to be able to meet manufacturers from Brooklyn ad the Caribbean in the upcoming year!

to showcase to Macy’s and local Boutiques.
Four businesses were asked to present to Macy’s Buyers!
While small, the show proved to be one of the most direct access vehicles for

increase the number of buyers at both the local boutique and department store
level!
While there are segments slated for direct to consumer sales
and the two nightly concerts promise an expected 1500 attendees each, VBAS is
designed as a trade event. Participants are encouraged to be prepared to
network with many community businesses, cooperate, city and banking officials.
