TOP PICKS 2017
It’s time to find out what the brands are predicting will be this year’s big sellers,
from mini bags and stripy tees to lightweight jackets and fashionable tanks
BagBase has responded to both the growing
mini bag trend and vast demand for barrel
bags, with the introduction of the Mini Barrel
Bag (BG140S) [1]. The brand calls this on-trend
fashion piece “the ultimate statement bag”,
adding: “Its stylish exterior blends perfectly
with its practical features, which include a zip-
pered pouch pocket and detachable adjusta-
ble shoulder strap. The sleek, simplistic styling
of the BG140S enhances its marketable quality
and appeal as a fashionable accessory.”

For 2017, Ralawise is introducing the new
Classic Fit Performance Polo [2] from Asquith
& Fox, which it says is “crafted with the same
exceptional quality and timeless style as the
original” with the addition of technical wicking
fabric to help regulate body temperature. The
65% polyester/35% cotton polo is available in
both women’s (AQ025) and men’s (AQ015)
styles, and in 25 colourways. “The athleisure
trend is going from strength to strength and
for 2017, we see the trend moving into the
corporatewear sector,” says Ralawise.

Kustom Kit’s new Fashion Fit T-Shirts [3] are
set to be this year’s hottest new products,
according to the brand. “The superior print
surface has been developed to showcase your
design to perfection whatever your decora-
tion method–sublimation, DTG, transfer films,
screen printing or laser transfer.” Kustom
Kit’s designers’ research of current trends has
allowed them to cherry-pick key fashion col-
ours for the retail-inspired tee in modern marl
effects, without forgetting the core workwear
colours. The women’s style (KK754) comes in
sizes 8-18, and the men’s (KK504) in XS-3XL.

Tombo’s Top Pick for 2017 is the ¼ Zip Top
(TL555) with reflective shoulder panels [4].
This innovative style is made from a polyes-
ter French Terry with inserted mesh panels
on the shoulders revealing a reflective panel
underneath, making it ideal for high visibility
at night. It is available in black or heather grey
and sizes XS-2XL, and Tombo says it matches
perfectly with the other trend-led styles in its
collection.

Fruit of the Loom nominated its trendy new
Lightweight Baseball Sweat Jacket [5] as its
Top Pick for 2017. Made from the brand’s
lightweight unbrushed fleece, it features
raglan sleeves, two front pockets and a cot-
ton/Lycra rib neck, waist and cuff, and has a
slimmer silhouette. Available in sizes S-2XL,
it comes as standard in black, heather grey
and deep navy. Bespoke jackets in different
colours – for either the entire jacket or sleeves
only – are also available on request.

The Adult Tee (1717) [6 ] from Comfort Colors
is, like the other garments in the collection,
garment-dyed using a unique process which
gives a finish that’s comparable to the effect
of 50 wash cycles for a relaxed, vintage look.
The Adult Tee is made from 207 gsm, 100%
cotton in ultra-soft ringspun yarns. This classic
tee is available in sizes S-2XL, and in a range of
39 earthy colours from neutrals to cool hues
and warm brights.
w
Larkwood’s Top Pick for 2017 is a cute, short
sleeved Stripe T-shirt (LW027) available in a
navy and white and suitable for both boys and
girls [7]. Using the finest of fabrics, this 100%
cotton T-shirt is left blank for customers to
decorate or embellish as desired. Available for
age 0/6 months to 3/4 years.
