For those that love the thrill of discovery and the art of design, look no further than the newly renamed First Finds.

Formerly known as the Temporaries, First Finds is a sleek, cultivated destination for yet-to-be discovered brands and unexpected treasures. Retaining its place as the industry’s foremost springboard for innovative exhibitors and buyers alike, you’ll continue to find cutting edge designs, the latest trends and even product that could become your next “aha” retail moment.

At Las Vegas Market’s inaugural First Finds, peruse your way through a range of unique categories and vendors, all collected in a well-defined, easy-to-navigate floor plan. You can meet and interact with the juried artisans and local makers, enjoying a personal buying and networking experience.

After grabbing your badge from registration, start your Market explorations in The Expo! The curated selection of 450 resources, organized in six categories, offers something for every buyer. New vendors include Grit and Grace Studio in Gift, woven furnishings by Vincent Sheppard in Home Décor, the latest from Trudon in our Design section, Sedona Spirit for Handmade delights, haute game styling from Oh My Mahjong in Luxe, and hand-curated spices and accessories from The French Farm Collection in Kitchen and Table. Head home with something special already in hand by visiting the Cash-and-Carry section for anything from jewelry by Designs by Monica to eco-friendly cleaning products from Forever Sticky.

A trip to Building B, Floor 6 will unveil another exclusive First Finds product array. These Home Furnishings resources span upholstery, case goods, and other key offerings that set your product assortment apart. New additions for Summer Market include Vaughan-Bassett, H2 Seating, Phoenix Industries and many more. Be sure to visit our full list of new First Finds vendors to round out your market planning.
