Elegant Baby New Products Launch

(Burlington, NC; January 30, 2004) Elegant Baby is pleased to announce the launching of a wide array of new gift items designed for children's boutiques and better department stores. Capitalizing on Elegant Baby's substantial consumer brand recognition and broad customer base, the company's objective is to continue to provide a well rounded and contemporary approach to a boutique or a department store's gift and basic accessories program.

In 2003, Elegant Baby began a total re-invention headed by company founder Fred V. Hooper's son, Yates Hooper. In analyzing the function that Elegant Baby serves with the larger accounts, it is quickly apparent that with Elegant Baby, a department store can count on the company to fill all of a department's gift needs. Elegant Baby offers complete EDI based fixture programs and visual support for branding with many of its partners. Hooper and team are finding that these services are absolutely essential for its major partners. With this in mind, the company is striving to improve and update the products and services offered for the department store.

Elegant Baby's first of many new product launches is comprised of christening gowns and bubbles to round out the company's collection of difficult-to-find christening accessories and gifts. The company believes the new christening collection to be the freshest and most contemporary approach to the christening category.

As industry leaders in baby blankets, Elegant Baby is proud to present new reversible long staple cotton cashmere™ baby blankets with sweater binding in pastels reversible to natural delivered in a fantastic gift presentation. Luxurious European matelasse baby blankets with scalloped edges along with cotton cable knit blankets and shawls round out the new Elegant Baby blanket collection. The company is expanding its offering of sterling silver keepsake items with several new and unusual rattles and teethers. Elegant Baby is most excited about its production of contemporary European luxury music for baby and family. The CD is presented in luxury packaging coordinating with the entire Elegant Baby boxed gift collection to be sold as an impulse item at point of purchase.

Elegant Baby is a company to watch as it continues to re-invent and expand in the children's and gift industries. For more information, visit www.elegantbaby.com or please call our New York Elegant Baby office at 212-239-4660.
