AT THE NEW YORK MARKET —

Lifestyle property Jenny & Jeff, and licensee Saturday Knight Ltd. will debut their initial bath collection, the fish-themed Make Waves, at the Spring New York Home Textiles Market.

The two companies regrouped in January, after a five-year hiatus, during which Oxford Bath was the bath licensee for Jenny & Jeff.

Make Waves, designed by Jenny & Jeff artists and partners Jenny Faw and Jeffrey Stock, includes 100 percent cotton terry towel ensembles featuring an embroidered floral fish design and rickrack trim, a canvas duck shower curtain, resin shower hooks, a cotton bath rug and ceramic accessories — a vase-shaped toothbrush holder, a fish-shaped soap dish, a lidded jar with a fish-shaped handle, a lotion pump, tissue box holder and waste basket.

Price points are still being developed, but the collection targets mid-tier and specialty stores.

Saturday Knight Ltd. is based in Cincinnati.

Also launching at market are three new collections being added to the existing Jenny & Jeff program by New York-based Whisper Soft Mills, a juvenile bedding supplier.

They are Rosey Posey, a pink oversized cabbage rose design; Paisley Spice, a brightly colored and trendy paisley design; and Wild Ones, a jungle and safari themed pattern.

All of the bedding collections are available in twin and full sizes.
