The newest chapter in the Emily & Meritt for PBteen story is
one of thoughtful reflection and inspiration from the fashion world.
Incorporating feminine, floral prints and edgy, skull details, the
Emily & Meritt for PBteen collection re-imagines classic home
essentials and is artfully designed to be mixed and matched to achieve a
perfectly dreamy oasis. Product highlights include an updated Gold
Stripe Chaise, boasting classic tufting and glamorous golden stripes;
the Bunny Ears Desk Chair, a playful yet functional seating addition;
and the Pirate Ship Lamp complete with denim shade. Gold continues as an
important theme in this new collection, reflected in bedding like the
Gold Dot Quilt and Sham as well as decorative accessories like the Gold
Studded Trunk, Gold Anchor Pillow and Bunny Ear Easel Phone Holder.
The style icons, and moms themselves, will be taking their eye for
design into an exciting new realm as they expand their partnership with
the Pottery Barn Brands to design an exclusive nursery capsule
collection in collaboration with Pottery Barn Kids, expected to debut in
January 2016. The Emily & Meritt for Pottery Barn Kids collection
brings the stylists’ beloved fashion sensibility to chic yet functional
nursery essentials.
“We are delighted with the newest exclusively-designed Emily & Meritt
for PBteen collection. They are true trendsetters and approach the
design of each collection with a careful eye for curating high style and
design in any room,” said Sandra Stangl, President, Pottery Barn
Brands. “Drawing on their artful spirit and design creativity, we are
excited to announce we will be bringing this aesthetic to new parents
with the launch of the Emily & Meritt for Pottery Barn Kids nursery
collection expected to debut in January 2016.”
“We’re thrilled to debut our third collection with PBteen. Our
journey with the brand has been a creative adventure and our
newest range for teens is our most favorite yet,” said
stylists and designers, Emily Current and Meritt Elliott. “As our
relationship with the beloved Pottery Barn family has proven uniquely
successful over the past few years, collaborating with Pottery Barn Kids
was the natural evolution for our partnership. We both
have little girls, and while Emily is now expecting her second child,
designing nurseries feels even more personal and authentic than
ever. Our point of view merges our love of American classics with denim
and touches of whimsy. We love creating our own little world and look
forward to inviting these sweet little customers into it.”
The Emily & Meritt for PBteen collection launched online on
August 26, 2015, and will be in stores on Sept. 18, 2015.

celebrated Los Angeles-based duo known for their whimsical and timeless

anticipated, multi-category women’s collection, aptly named THE GREAT.
