If you’re on the Eastern Accents newsletter mailing list, you’ve recently received a Happy Holidays e-card from us. It looks like this (only bigger):
Happy Holidays Note from Eastern Accents
(If you’re not on our list–and you’re in the trade–sign up for the newsletter! Sign up under the search bar at the top of this page.)
Along with the e-card, we briefly listed 4 announcements that you can expect from Eastern Accents in early 2010. Here we’ve got the space to give you a little more detail (some details may change).
1. New de’ Medici Italian Fine Linen products, pricing, and sales materials. We’ll be introducing new colors to Coperta Quilted Sateens, a few new collections, and we’re reorganizing and revamping the family of collections that have grown around Nuvola (Nuvola Luxe, Nuvola Classic, Fresco Luxe, Fresco Classic, Grafico, and Velvet Ribbon). We might even throw in a new name here and there.
2. From Niche Bedding and Living, new collections and a concept we’re calling “Living Styles.” Living Styles will give designers the luxury of having more options. Instead of sticking with the standard ensemble, designers will find alternative fabrics and products designed to integrate perfectly with (and in some cases replace) the standard pieces. These alternative items will also work perfectly well as part of a rotation of pieces to keep a room with Niche bedding looking fresh and different.
3. Holiday pillows from Studio 773 Pillows. Some of us can’t hold out until next fall to decide on holiday decorating for 2010. For those of you who will make it through this year’s holiday season only to begin again in January with planning your purchases for next year, these pillows are for you. Studio 773 is introducing approximately 20 holiday themed decorative pillows, many hand-painted, all luxurious and with designer appeal. Many of these pillows will be on display first in Atlanta and Dallas at the gift markets in January. (More information about trade shows on Studio773Pillows.com.)
4. Our Custom Workroom continues to roll out new products making it easier than ever to design and quote custom products, including those using C.O.M. (customer owned materials). We have new C.O.M. workbooks, made available just this week at the future home of our C.O.M design center (login required). There we also will launch an online quoting system for C.O.M. custom bedding. Our regular custom online Instant Quote (login required) system will be updated with new options for coverlets, and decorative pillows will soon follow.
We’re excited about 2010 and hope you are too. Anyone going to the early year shows in Dallas, Atlanta, or Vegas, please stop by and say hello. The Eastern Accents trade show schedule is the best way to find out where you can see us in person.
By the way…Eastern Accents will be closing for the holidays beginning December 19th and will re-open on January 4th. Please feel free to use the Contact Us form (at the top of this page), if you have any questions before or after the holidays. And if your question is a general one, leave it as a comment to this blog post. We’ll get you answer as soon as possible.
Have a great holiday season and thanks for your support of Eastern Accents.
