Winter 2013 Gift+Home at Las Vegas Market Offers More on Every Level

Gift+Home at Las Vegas Market will offer visitors “more on every level” this winter, with highlights including new and expanded showrooms, debut of a new collection of high-end home décor suppliers on C3 and a completely updated categorization of temporary exhibits into ten distinct, themed product sections including new offerings. The winter 2013 Gift+Home at Las Vegas Market runs January 28 - February 1, 2013, at World Market Center Las Vegas (WMCLV).

“Gift+Home buyers will benefit from clearer categorization, concentration of related resources and an increased and expanded number of resources,” said Dorothy Belshaw, president of Gift + Home Décor, International Market Centers, parent company of World Market Center Las Vegas. “Of particular note, we are excited by the launch of C3 and its collection of leading home décor designers as the fifth gift + home floor in building C. This, plus the expansion and re-merchandising of the temporary exhibits on C4 and C5, all fit within a larger multi-phase reorganization strategy to position Las Vegas as the industry's premier western US marketplace.”

Gift+Home at Las Vegas Market continues to build density on existing floors with new companies like Coton Colors, Grasslands Road, a division of Amscan, Inc., International Gem & Minerals, Roman, Inc. and Seasons Jewelry making their Gift+Home debuts on the 8th floor of Building C. Attendees also will be able to find more new products and trends from new showrooms including Blossom Bucket and Meissenburg Designs, as well as current residents like Gifts of Nature, Evergreen Enterprises, Next Step Reps and Ohio Wholesale who are expanding their current Gift+Home showrooms. Other leading showrooms include C&F Enterprises, Creative Co-op, DEMDACO, Ganz, Homestyle, K&K Interiors, Midwest-CBK, Onecoast and many others.

Beginning in January, C3 a new collection of several better home décor and home fashion showrooms will debut on Level 3 of Building C. This new concentration of stylish and sophisticated home products will be created through an infusion of new home furnishings and home fashions suppliers and through relocation of relevant resources from across the WMCLV campus. Joining existing anchors Classic Home, Feizy Rugs and Karastan, Las Vegas Market has commitments from new resources including Design Legacy by Kelly O’Neal, Left Bank Art, Light & Living, Santangelo Lighting and more. In addition, Art Classics, Etoffe Makara, Jeffan, Jesco Lighting and Peninsula Home will relocate to this new destination.

The launch of C3 also extends the campus’ neighborhood-building initiative which started in July with the debut of B3 featuring notable décor lines such as Arteriors, Best Slip Cover, Bougainvillea, Brownstone, Chandra, Go HOME, Made Goods, Noir, Wendover Art and others.

Another strategic change for the January market is the reorganization of temporary exhibits in Building C - C4 and C5 - into carefully merchandised collections of related resources. HOME, STYLE and TEXTILES will be located on C4; and GIFT, GLOBAL, GOURMET, MADE, TREND, VINTAGE and CARRY! will be located on C5.
