NEW YORK — Shoppe Object, a home and gift trade show in New York City, is gearing up for the upcoming summer 2024 edition. Scheduled to take place from Aug. 4-6, the show will be held at two locations: Pier 36 and Skylight at Essex Crossing, both of which are sold out.
A shuttle service will operate every 10 minutes between the two locations, and Shoppe Object is offering free Lyft codes for buyers traveling to and from the Javits Center.
“We’re on target for another record-breaking show,” said Jesse James, Founder & Show Director of Shoppe Object. “We have more exhibitors than ever before, including many for the first time, and our collection of international brands keeps growing. A high percentage of our exhibitors do not participate in any other event in America, so visiting Shoppe Object is one of the only ways to meet and see their products in person.”
Shoppe Object is spotlighting Diane Vaquerano as the Artist of the Season for the summer show. A Brooklyn-based artist, Vaquerano integrates her California roots with her El Salvadoran heritage and experience as a graphic designer in New York fashion. Her work features vibrant scenes and portraits inspired by tropical fruits, florals, and the textile patterns of her grandmother’s wardrobe.
