LAGUNA BEACH, CALIF. —

PakTex International, which develops and imports bedding and home fashions from Pakistan, has signed an agreement to produce an exclusive line for designer John Bernard of Room Service.

Room Service's stores target a hip, upmarket customer. Stores are located in Los Angeles, Palm Springs, and Orange County, Calif, as well as Tokyo.

PakTex International will produce the Room Service line with its partner Usman Ltd. based in Karachi, Pakistan.

PakTex's product line includes comforter sets, quilts, bed-in-a-bag, duvets and other better home fashions from Pakistan.
