visions of vegas merchandise picks from the Las Vegas PPAI show 2011.
Hi everybody. I’m back from Las Vegas with some new eye candy and picks from the show that I think you’ll like – and be able to get a lot of use out of this year.
ANTONIETTA PALLADINO Senior Merchandiser Antonietta’s our merchandising expert. She sets the style bar at SwervePoint and has her hands in everything merchandising including our Freshbook, StyleShop, client projects, and more. Antonietta’s been instrumental in defining our strategy of “mixing style and quality with low prices” and defining our product mix as “fresh, fun, and functional.” She often says, “I can’t believe I actually get paid to do this job!”
Men’s Greg Norman ¼ Zip Color Block Mock. FB4100
I’ll start with a couple of apparel selections that caught my eye:
The Greg Norman 1/4 Zip Color Block Mock is crazy soft and will make almost any guy look good. I’d suggest this piece for off the course wear. I liked the cut, feel, and contrast insets. At roughly $70 it’s at the top end of the price spectrum but well worth it for the right employee or customer. It comes in two colors, black and blue, both with the white insets. 12 piece minimum.

This trench coat for women is super stylish and environmentally responsible. Made by our friends at Boardroom Clothing, this wind and water resistant shell comes inwhite, black, charcoal, navy, red, brown, and timber. At roughly $90 you get a great looking fashion piece that you can wear to work or on the weekend. 48piece minimum.

Contrasting Cap. VV1003
I liked this cap because I thought it had the right amount of flair to appeal to a broad audience. It’s got a good mix of industrial and sporty styling. For $6.95 and a 48 piece minimum, I think we’ve got a winner.
