KNOWSHOW Summer 2014

Last week, KNOWSHOW return to the Vancouver Convention Centre connecting retailers with the top fashion, lifestyle, and action sports brands. For the third season, KNOWSHOW has partnered with Retail Assembly to offer a workshop-style learning session during the first day of the show. Led by retail buying expert, Jennifer Pilkington, the sessions focus on topics pertaining to current market trends with the aim to help retailers and buyers recognize their growth opportunities.

We curated our favourite pieces for Spring/Summer 2015.

Coal Headwear

Coal was created in Portland, Oregon where the founders were inspired by family and friends. Their passion was the belief that headwear was more than just something to keep your head warm, more than just a simple accessory. Coal design caps, beanies, gloves and scarves inspired by the art, skate, and snowboard culture.

The Turtle Shell 2.0 adheres to the IPX-5 standard which means that you can take it everywhere without having to worry. Using Bluetooth 4.0, the speaker connects with your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or any other Bluetooth-enabled device with the range of over 32 feet.

Thorocraft

Thorocraft designs classic footwear silhouettes with a touch bold style.
