The Playtime team can't help but fall in love at first sight with some of the amazing brands that come to our shows! So we've started a new series for our Magazine to introduce you to our crushes this season. Our first team member to share her crush is Carole Amy, an amazing freelancer who helps us with digital marketing and web design, as well as occasionally writing articles for the Magazine. Carole was drawn to several brands with stunning, handmade knitwear at Playtime Paris in January, and simply had to share their collections with you!

Get inspired by this breathtaking craftwork, and be sure to add these brands to your store!
