Ex-Cell and Tabletops team up
By Cecile B. Corral -- Home Textiles Today, 3/22/2004
NEW YORK — Ex-Cell Home Fashions and hand-painted dinnerware manufacturer Tabletops Unlimited recently partnered to create a soft collection of cross-merchandised products across all of Ex-Cell's product categories — table linens, kitchen textiles, window coverings, rugs, decorative pillows and bath products.
The collection is launching this week during the New York Home Textiles Market.
"Our retail customers have expressed excitement about translating Tabletops designs into new categories," said Barry Leonard, president and CEO, Ex-Cell.
The initial collection comes in more than five designs, including African themes, brightly colored florals and one titled Italian Swirl. It targets mass, specialty and department stores.
This license marks the second new partnership of its kind for Ex-Cell, which earlier this year signed with Sango.
