De la Renta adds Oriental Accent
Staff -- Home Accents Today, 5/1/2005
Oscar de la Renta has announced a licensing agreement with Oriental Accent to develop a line of home accessories. Under the terms of the agreement, Oriental Accent will introduce lamps, wall sconces, chargers, urns, bowls, vases, hurricanes and candlesticks as part of the expanding Oscar de la Renta Home Collection.
"Mr. De la Renta's personal collection of home products, including accessories and lighting, is quite extensive and eclectic," said Kerry Glasser, president and CEO of Concept Marketing Group, licensing agent for Oscar de la Renta Home. "Because of this, our focus was to find an established company with a diverse capability enabling them to leverage Mr. de la Renta's collection."
Oriental Accent joins a growing list of licensees, including a high-end furniture collection from Century, such as tabletop, hand-knotted Tibetan rugs, bedding, garden furniture and home fragrance. The collection is based on de la Renta's own designs as well as adaptations of pieces he collected, exhibiting the same stylish, elegant and refinished sensibility as his clothing designs.
The line is expected to debut at the October High Point market.
