“The Class show format is one I’m completely behind. The size isn’t overwhelming and the vendors are all relevant. I can get a lot done in a comfortable, fun environment. Not to mention the sweet Santa Monica location. Looking forward to it, and after all the years I’ve been doing this that’s saying something.”

"More than 50% of all water pollution is textile-related! Eco-friendly fabrics, environmentally sustainable and socially conscious production is of importance to American Rag Cie along with many other stores, and we believe will be increasingly so for consumers in the upcoming years. It's smart for a trade show to address the issues specifically, and I think stores will react favorably to it."
