New York —

Arlee Home Fashions has hired Lance Orlick as the company's vp, sales.

Longtime industry player Orlick comes to the company from Natco Home Products, where he served as executive vp. Prior to that, he spent many years with Windham Weavers and remained through the company's acquisition by Natco in September 2008.

"Lance's knowledge and expertise in the tapestry arena is unmatched," said David Frankel, Arlee's president, to whom Orlick now reports. "For years, retailers have appreciated Lance's deep understanding of the retail market and his creative vision."

Orlick, whose first order of business was to work on Arlee's newest harvest and holiday looks for 2010, added: "I am excited to build upon the solid foundation Arlee has in tapestries as well as toss pillows and window."
