OneCoast has some BIG things planned for 2018! We have added our newest vendor partner, Grace Brands, and new products from our current vendors. Our Spring and Summer 2018 Trend Report is ready. Let’s see what’s what you have to look forward to for 2018!
Established in 1998, About Face Designs™ has come to be known as an industry leader in sentiment gifts lifestyle products. In 2015 we initiated a creative strategy that would transition the company and our line to a more functional, fashion oriented and trendy product offering over a three-year period. At the same time, we committed to maintaining our core mission statement of offering quality, value and outstanding customer service. Over the past 2 years, and in line with our new creative strategy, there has been a significant shift from smaller décor items to functional product and fashion accessories including barware, baby items, pet product, women’s accessories, men’s gifts and much more. Constantly evolving and changing with market trends the company introduces hundreds of fresh, new designs annually.
More excitement is in store for 2018 as we expand our successful product lines with many new categories including lanyards, new pet accessories, baby changing pads and pacifier clips, leather wrapped flasks, insulated coolers, headphone covers and much more! And last, but certainly not least, About Face Designs is thrilled to announce the expansion of our brand new, and recently introduced Bobbi Chicago™ collection of vegan leather handbags. The collection was met with “rave reviews” upon the release in September, and the new introductions within the collection are sure to be a great follow up, creating even more excitement and sales at the retail level!

Romantic: Feminine and floral, this trend combines old-fashioned imagery and colors with new and unexpected elements. A bit unconventional, a tad old-fashioned. Painterly feminine florals and watercolor backgrounds are the focus, while birds nesting in the branches, ornate butterflies, and beautiful insects play a supporting role. Delicate shades of pink and peach combine with some of the most vivid hues to create this romantic look.
Stripes: Classic stripes and gingham with simple designs and natural hues. This trend combines cool blues with warm wood hues for a simply elegant look. Ink art, mosaic, and easy-going messaging also define this trend.
Brights: Bright and bold colors and patterns clash brilliantly to create a vibrant rhythm. Calypso colors tango with tropical patterns in a dance as steamy as the rainforest itself. With a nod to the pulse of the jungle, sultry splashes of neon characterize visuals of lush foliage, while vivid birds, festive fruit, and flashy florals swing and sway to this tropical beat.
Tween: Take a detour from reality through the carefree whimsy of pop culture. For miles of smiles, mythical creatures, magical rainbows, and the cutest kitties frolic among glittery lips, fast-food treats, happy hearts and upbeat emojis. Sure to be your go-to trend for 2018.
Odyssey: Luxurious and contemporary with dramatic structure and modern styling. Modern hues of neutral grays, deep navy, and dusty pink fuse with shimmering copper, gold and metallics, producing a dramatic, sophisticated style. Classic architectural lines intersect rock forms and celestial bodies, giving them dramatic structure.
Organic: Irresistible handmade elements permeate this trend filled with painted florals, birds, and geometric patterns, giving it an enticing one-of-a-kind character. The look is accented with gorgeous handcrafted embroidery, beading, weaving, and macramé, while vibrant colors and textures come together to create a look that showcases the irresistible appeal of handcrafting.

Who says a garden can’t sing?
At Woodstock Chimes, we feel every garden should have its own song. That’s why we have so many windchimes tuned to different melodies and scales. In 2018, your customers will have an even wider range of options, as we add chimes tuned to the French national anthem, Bob Dylan’s Blowin’ in the Wind and the classic favorite, Over the Rainbow. In addition, we’re taking the octave doubling feature that gives our Magical Mystery Chimes their rich sound and incorporating it in the new Encore Chimes of the Eclipse. Never forget, Woodstock Chimes are musical instruments that are played by the wind.
But music is only part of the story. Woodstock Chimes has the widest selection of products of any chime company. There’s a huge variety of sizes, prices and styles, which means there’s a Woodstock Chime to suit every store and every customer. We strive to capitalize on our best-selling products, and this year is no exception. We’re adding a large Agate Chime and three new Dragonfly Windbells with agate windcatchers to our product mix and we’ve developed a new Affirmation Chime as well. The “Love” chime has words of endearment silk-screened on the tubes. We are also expanding our Windsinger line, adding a chime tuned to the opening notes of Amazing Grace. Now our most popular tuning can ring supreme like the other chimes in our premier line.
Made in the U.K. from genuine Austrian crystals, our Rainbow Makers line is being expanded this year. Our new Crystal Chakra Cascade incorporates seven octagonal crystals (you know the colors, don’t you?) and feature a clear crystal drop at the bottom. Available with a faceted almond, ball, icicle or octagon, these lovely sparklers will fit right in with the rest of this amazing line. Make sure your stores shine a light on their Rainbow Makers display – light makes them sparkle, sparkle makes them sell!
So to sum up our trends for 2018, it’s more of what our customers tell us that they love about our products—the beautiful melodies, bigger sound and added sparkle that bring joy, comfort and beauty to their lives. And who doesn’t need more of that!
