Boca Raton, Fla. —

Hollander Home Fashions has been named the 2008 Licensee of the Year for Laura Ashley. A major contributing factor to the selection of licensee of the year is being a sales leader. Hollander celebrated its 10th anniversary as a Laura Ashley licensee last year with a special collection.

"Consumers have come to expect both quality and value from Laura Ashley, and Hollander understands that. The first to introduce color and pattern to a very basic category, Hollander has mastered meeting consumer need while offering them something extra, said Penne Cairoli, general manager of Laura Ashley.
