New York —

A broad line of Natori luxury decorative pillows and throws will be unveiled by tabletop and giftware specialist Richard Cohen Collection at the New York Home Textiles Market, under a new distribution partnership.

Natori svp of marketing, public relations and licensing James Booth termed the agreement "the perfect partnership to achieve Natori's objective of reaching and better serving the smaller, independent boutique retailer."

The line will bow at 7W New York (7 W. 34 Street) in suite 907 during the New York Gift Fair, Aug. 15-21 (as part of the Gift Fair-associated "New York Home Textiles Market").

Richard Cohen, president of the eponymous company, said of the Natori team: "They have a tremendous understanding of the gift world and the final consumers — principally women. We were able to work with them in planning a selection of products that we know will resonate with our network of buyers. The traditional yet stylish new collection includes pillows and throws in an assortment of rich red, black and white designs with the East Meets West sensibility for which Natori is well known."
