Digital Issue 04/2023

Kind + Jugend is the industry meeting par excellence in Germany: We can look forward to numerous product innovations, premieres, award ceremonies and, above all, personal exchanges. In this issue, we present numerous innovations. Another focus is on the topic of sustainability and we show diverse examples of our industry. In the cover story, you can read how Playshoes has been dealing with this issue for several years and what new products await us. This time the design stories focus on the Ernst Feiler collection "Ben Bär" and as a specialty store of the month we introduce Milchwiese in Berlin. In addition, as usual, you will learn important industry news, such as the background to the Jako-O exit, read about international trade fairs and find a colorful selection of products for your assortment in our theme worlds.
