Rounding out the Pottery Barn brands’ offering of Emily + Meritt pieces for the home, the collection features over 30 items
characterized by classic ticking stripes, unexpected gold and brass accents, whimsical touches and washed chambray—paying homage to
Emily + Meritt’s denim-focused flagship apparel brand, The GREAT.
“After years of creating covetable rooms for both kids and teens, it’s exciting to design something for the living, dining and
master bedrooms! We approach interiors the same way we approach fashion – layering whimsical, unexpected elements back to rethought
classics,” said Emily Current and Meritt Elliott. “In this collection, we’ve combined washed black and white with touches of
vintage-y gold and textural chambray- which can feel both graphic and versatile.”
Signature pieces from the collection include the Bergere Chair, Brass Peace Sign Jewelry Holder, Raleigh Denim
Bench and Denim Boudoir Pillow. Prices will range from $8-$999 USD.
“Emily + Meritt bring such an effortless sense of glamour to our brand, taking classic patterns and prints—such as antique
ticking stripes and hand-drawn caricatures, creates a stylish expression for the modern household,” said Monica Bhargava, Executive
Vice President of Product Development and Design, Pottery Barn. “After incredible success with collections for Pottery Barn Kids
and PBteen, we are so excited to unveil pieces for the entire home.”
Later this year, the Emily + Meritt for Pottery Barn collection will continue exclusively for the holiday 2017 season, focusing
on unique décor and magical entertaining moments. Product highlights will include the Gold Top Hat Ice Bucket, Gold
Jingle Bells Wine Opener, and a denim tree skirt and chambray stocking.

anticipated, multi-category women’s collection, aptly named THE GREAT. Whether they’re designing a collection, creating memorable
outfits for clients, styling unforgettable editorial spreads and advertising campaigns, appearing as fashion experts, or consulting
