New York – As part of its fall 2008 introductions, Nautica will roll out three new sheet series, including its first organic cotton offering.

Nautica Naturals is a 510-count, 100% organic cotton sheet. The series includes five colors in soothing spa tones that are packaged in a self-contained organic cotton bag.

In addition, Nautica will launch a luxury 700-count sheet made of cotton-sateen, embroidered with a subtle rope motif on the cuff. Colorways for the luxury sheet include deep charcoal, green and eggplant.

A new 450-count sheet line is made from 100% pima cotton for a cool, crisp hand. This group is also accented with a rope motif, and will be available in 12 colors.

Nautica has added a new towel line, the Harborside Collection. Made of pima cotton and bamboo, the towels will be available in 12 colors at $19.99 retail.

Nautica Home’s top-of-bed offerings focus on apparel trends in the context of coastal cities. Shades of gray, charcoal, lilac and lavender run throughout the bedding collection, which also features Nautica’s signature stripes.
