EA Accents

We’re enjoying a spring-like day here in Chicago, and as we look forward to moving out of winter and into the spring…we wanted to announce that we’ve added a new feature to our websites. We have a new navigation bar across the top of several of our divisional websites. Our goal with this change is to help customers (and potential customers researching what we do) learn what to expect from each of our main bedding lines…and be able to go directly, easily back and forth from one division to another.

This bar appears across the top of EasternAccents.com, deMediciFineLinen.com, NicheEA.com, EssentialsEA.com, and Studio773Pillows.com. Drag your mouse over a brand name in the bar…and you’ll see a small picture with descriptive bullets for that line. Click on the name in the bar, and you’ll go directly to that portion of our website (or to the website dedicated specifically to that brand).

Let us know what you think. If you have questions or comments about this or any other feature on our websites, leave a comment and we’ll try to answer them as quickly as possible. We’ll continue adding new features, new capabilities, and new content to our websites regularly during the next several months in order to serve you better.

3.  Mix fabric textures and scales

Create an interesting and unique look by selecting fabrics with mixed scales and textures.  Pair silks with mohair or large scale patterns with smaller scales and stripes.  Check out our Bukhara collection for an example of mixing scales, and  for an example of combining texture see our Brenn Collection.

A preview of Anthemion, expected in 2010

Hand-painted by Eastern Accents artists, this anthemion on silk is the central motif of a new hand-painted silk program expected in 2010.

Anthemion luxury bedding shown as in-house preview during development.

We expect to offer the following products in Anthemion: hand-painted silk luxury bedding, decorative accent pillows, and curtain panels. The bedding collection consists of a duvet, bed skirt, Euro and standard shams, bolster, and home accent pillows. Up to seven colors of silk may eventually be available with complimentary hand-painted colors. All or most products will be available in our signature Serico silk ivory, ocean, gold, brown and taupe. Contrasting paint colors include gold, brown, black and shiraz. We’ll keep you posted as new information becomes available. (As this is a collection still in development, details may change.)

This week we’re at the Las Vegas Market. We’ve seen several familiar faces and also made some new friends.  If you’re at Market, stop by and say hello.  You’ll find us in Building B, space B 370.

Here are a couple pictures from early in the week.

Here are a couple candid photos from our showroom space in Dallas.  The images are a little blurry, sure, but cell phones are made for phone calls and we send bedding and fabric experts rather than photographers to our showrooms! This market Eastern Accents is in the Elle Home & Lifestyle LLC To the Trade Showroom 523-WC.  Studio 773 Pillows is showing separately as part of Dallas Finds Show in space 13-1909.

If you miss us in Dallas (there’s still time to drop by before the end of the market) make sure to see us February 1-5 at the Las Vegas Market, Building B, showroom B 370.
