Especially dedicated to the universes of children, junior, and maternity, international trade show Playtime is opening its doors in New York. The first edition will be held July 31 to August 2 during the Children’s Market in Soho. The event is scheduled to take place bi-annually.

With the New York event, Playtime is looking to create the world’s largest trade show network for children’s and maternity collections. Playtime New York will offer a comprehensive international selection of today’s best collections in the children’s and maternity marketplace. The show will encompass infant and children’s clothing, shoes and accessories, baby gear, toys, deco/design products, childcare and maternity.

The venue features 25,000 square foot space, and will have an additional 25,000 square feet available soon with a loft design, brick walls, hardwood flooring, cast iron columns and arched passageways. The show will provide an easy-to-navigate layout and an open booth design. A new website is being developed in the same format as the Playtime Paris site.

Headquartered in Paris, Playtime launched in 2006. The trade show became one of the must-see trade show in Europe with 250 exhibitors. Playtime Tokyo was launched in 2009 and has now become the largest children’s fashion trade show in Japan.
