Baby Fashion Fix

An incident in a restaurant with her firstborn was the inspiration for babysparewear, Los Angeles mom Veronica Milito's innovative approach to baby fashion on-the-go. Babysparewear is the ultimate answer for those travel "emergencies," a pre-packed change of clothes t-shirt and pant set inside a re-useable zip-up case that can fit easily into a diaper bag or purse. The babysparewear outfit comes in toddler and baby sizes with organic options, and is washable. Celebrity mom Courteney Cox has employed a babysparewear kit for her daughter, and for any busy parent, it can be a brilliant (and adorable) life-saver.

This event is scheduled to start on Monday, August 2 at 11:00 AM for 1st Row members and at 12:00 PM for 2nd Row members. This event will run for 40 hours, or until it sells out.

babysparewear at the l.a. mart

2008-08-06T10:52:00.000-07:00

thought i'd post photos of our space at our l.a. mart showroom rosalie and friends, suite #750. like our products, our display is simple and to the point and shows off our babysparewear offerings: from our ecochic organic line to our 3-piece fashion fix kits to our 2-piece mini makeover and toddlersparewear kits to our stand-alone spare travel bags—all concisely within a vertical 4 x 8 space.

our display can be viewed from the front window which is pretty awesome. and we were assigned a display area which faces a collection of best-selling elvis presley licensed products. how can you go wrong hangin' with the king, right?

(besides the fact that my late brother was a life-long elvis fan, so we consider that a hunka hunka burnin' luck...)

also, check out the newly & glamorously redesigned main lobby of the l.a. mart®/l.a. mart design center. this last january 2008, the center "commemorated it's 50th year as one of los angeles' mid-century icons" and the building continues to show it's commitment to the design industries with its fresh perspective on the modern lifestyle.
