Hundreds of vendors crowded into a Chicago convention center this week
for the country's biggest homeware trade show.
We make these insulated vegan leather lunch boxes.
So these are our car and closet diffusers.
All of our pottery has saucers as well as drainage hole to make the.
Perfect home for your plant.
The expo is full of businesses showing off their merchandise.
Everything from cookware and linens to luggage and vacuums.
But this year, the convention has been dominated by one thing.
There's a lot of talk about tariffs.
Everyone's thinking about it.
We're telling our larger customers
that the tariffs are going to become higher and it's going to affect us.
I'm a little bit worried.
It's a challenge, you know, like everybody.
Will be paying more and, you know, there's complete uncertainty.
These vendors concerns largely focused on the new tariffs Trump imposed on China yesterday.
Many of these companies make products there, and to avoid the tariffs,
they're thinking about moving their operations out of China altogether.
