January 6, 2011, Woolrich, PA " Global outdoor apparel manufacturer Woolrich, Inc., has added PM&J to its growing lineup of home furnishings licensing partners and will debut their new line of high quality pet products at the upcoming Global Pet Expo in Orlando, Florida held March 16-18.
“”PM&J’s pet line will be designed to blend with the nature inspired décor that Woolrich Home is known for,”” said Sharon Kepley, licensing manager of home furnishings for Woolrich. “”We have been successfully working with PM&J in Europe for the past few years and will now add their pet products to our U.S. collections this spring and beyond.””
The beds are created to not only be attractive additions to a room but also provide supportive comfort for pets. They will be available in three sizes to fit pets from small to large and will be covered in popular Woolrich iconic fabrics such as buffalo check and plaids, herringbone patterns, and sherpas. Leashes, carriers, and pet apparel will also be available later this year.
The PM&J pet bed line is intended to complement Woolrich’s existing brand partners and their products, which include: JLA Home (top-of-bed, textile wall art and pillows); Lynn Haney Collection (handcrafted Santas); Mohawk Home (floor coverings); Picture Source (wall art); Rowe Pottery Works™ (handcrafted pottery and garden décor); Shadow Mountain (casegoods); Shady Lady® (handcrafted lighting and accessories); and Whitecraft (indoor and outdoor furniture).
“”We are very excited to be expanding our relationship with Woolrich into the U.S. market,”” said Cynthia Eicher, General Manager for PM&J. “”Our products will fill the need for high quality pet products that also look good in homes furnished in the outdoor lifestyle that Woolrich represents.””
Retail prices will range from $9.99 to $59.99. Woolrich pet beds will be available at retail in late summer/early fall 2011.
