Skip Hop To Produce Bedding Line In-House

Juvenile products manufacturer Skip Hop of New York has announced it will bring its infant bedding line in-house after ending its licensing relationship. The company also plans to expand the bedding selection for 2010.

“Skip Hop is excited about bringing our on-trend, affordable and luxurious bedding to the market,” said Ellen Diamant, the brand’s founder and creative director. “We look forward to bringing our unique design perspective to this exciting category.”

Skip Hop’s best-selling crib bedding—the Mod Dot pattern—will be updated for spring, hitting retail this April. New sets and coordinating accessories will debut shortly afterwards. Call (212) 868-9850 or visit www.skiphop.com.
