Featured wholesaler Carissa Rose brings full busted ladies style without compromising comfort.
It seems as if in today’s marketplace, finding cute clothes for small chested gals is the only option for style in stores. Forget us larger chested gals… style just doesn’t come as easily. Or at least not as comfortably. Fortunately, Dallas based designer Carissa Brown has decided to break this trend. Inspired by both her fashion design educated mother and her belief that endowment is a blessing (not a curse), Brown created a collection of clothes that flatter and fit ladies with a DD+ bust. Whether you need a dress or a shirt, Carissa Rose is the answer. Your customer’s will thank you for finding this collection to add to their closets! With a size chart made easy to read and even easier to fit your customers, this collection is a must have addition. Check out more details about this fabulous brand by visiting their website at www.carissarose.com and to see the entire assortment of style that Carissa Rose has to offer.

Love these bags. This pretty much sums it up. Neela bags provide chic style in bold, fun patterns and styles all while being eco responsible. They are reusable and recyclable, offering you a chance to make a difference in your daily routine. Whether toting groceries, bringing appetizers to a friend’s party, carrying laundry or returning books to the library, Neela bags offer great style for a great purpose – which is to eliminate the use of plastic and paper bags that get thrown away and fill up land fills, therefore polluting the earth more than necessary. By using Neela for just one year in place of disposable bags, you will save a landfill about 1000 bags courtesy of you! How wonderful is that? While that definitely is the best part, an added bonus is that Neela bags are stylish in a variety of styles. Want insulated? They have that. Need a bunch to carry groceries? The Market Pack is your way to go. Want something that barely takes up space in your purse but holds a lot when opened? They have that, also! At retail prices as low as $7, these are a must have addition for your store to sell – and will hopefully encourage your customers to eliminate their need for disposable bags. Retailers, this is also a great way to save some money on overhead… less money on disposable bag purchases since all your customers will have Neela bags to use!

Inspired to create style while also contributing to function, designer Melissa Beth first conquered laptop cases only to realize so much more was in need of her help. Tote bags, makeup cases, lifestyle bags, laptop sleeves and more make up this refreshing assortment of functional products that look great too.

Her products are top quality, affordable prices and stylish while bringing organization to your life. This one is worth checking out!
Forget black and boring when it comes to carrying your laptop case with a Melissa Beth Design. Think crisp, bold and stylish. Need a carry on while traveling? Her lifestyle bag collection includes an amazing bag called the Jet Setter that I found out can be so more more than just a carry on. Big bag for tons of heavy college papers to grade? Check. Day bag for play date with one baby and a million things to go with her? Check. Overnight bag that tosses into my overpacked SUV with ease? Check. Something to throw over your shoulder when you overstuffed your other bags? Check. The list goes on. That’s what is so great about Melissa Beth Designs – the versatility and fun and style and function and okay, you got the idea! As for pricing – totally affordable. The Jet Setter featured on your left retails for only $136! Worth every penny – and some!
Another plus? Melissa Beth herself is actively involved in the design process, selling and marketing of her product line. She loves and encourages feedback - even the bad (though not sure why she’d get any of that). Another exciting note is that they are celebrating their 5th year birthday! Yeah!!! We love to see a small business find success and stay afloat. Let’s help give Melissa Beth some birthday love by bringing in Melissa Beth to your stores. Visit www.melissabeth.com.
