New York — In an effort to make its name as widely known in other areas as it already is in quilts, Peking Handicraft Inc. unveiled a wide range of new products this week at the winter mini-market here.

Leading the way for PHI is its much broader assortment of decorative pillows. Formerly, the San Francisco-based supplier had presented a small selection of roughly 20 skus with little direction or focus. That's changed, however, as it presented a coordinated program of five constructions — microsuede, needlepoint, silk, velvet and linen — of more than 150 skus. Each of the constructions offers a non-solid solid line as well as a wide variety of embellishments, including beading, sequins, embroidery, ribbons and cord, which all coordinate back to the solids.
