Judith Leiber is the latest brand to jump into the red-hot furniture business.
The global luxury brand owned by Authentic Brands Group has partnered with Theodore Alexander, a leading name in home furnishings, to manufacture and distribute its inaugural furniture collection.
The line will debut at High Point Market, which runs from April 12 to 17, and be available for sale starting this fall on the Theodore Alexander website and at select retailers.
The product range will include a sofa, chaise, a variety of tables, a credenza, sideboard, bookcase, chairs and a bedroom set in Mink and Martini oak. The design of all the pieces pays homage to Judith Leiber’s signature bags with brass and mother-of-pearl details. The collection will retail from $1,797 to $14,997.
“Furniture and home decor are a natural extension for Judith Leiber Couture,” said the company’s creative director Dee Ocleppo Hilfiger. “We are thrilled to partner with Theodore Alexander to celebrate our new collection as they are leaders in the home furnishings industry.”
“The home industry has long recognized the interwoven dance that fashion and home play in our creative designs,” said Theodore Alexander president Ed Teplitz. “This collection brings those commonalities to reality by uniting the creativity of two beloved brands to release an exquisite collection for our loyal and discerning clientele. To say we are proud of the result is an understatement.”
