What happened

August 2-4 hosts the Summer 2026 Shoppe Object gathering inside New York City’s Starrett-Lehigh Building, drawing more than 900 independent and global brands—an increase from 850 last summer—together with exclusive New York-only lines aimed at home, design, and lifestyle buyers.

Why it matters to your store

Boutique and gift operators still shaping near-term open-to-buy can treat the enlarged show as a same-week sourcing window that affects which SKUs, suppliers, and receipt timing they lock before fall demand.

Action to take

Compare planned orders and priority SKUs with exhibitor assortments at Shoppe Object today through Tuesday before committing near-term wholesale purchases.
