Designer Jonathan Adler, known for his groovy home-wear collection and interior design work at The Parker in Palm Springs, has inked a licensing deal with Li & Fung's LF USA to expand its fashion accessories business into handbags, totes, hats, small leather goods, belts and scarves, according to Women's Wear Daily.
Expect to see Adler's quirky patterns, smart craftsmanship, and cheeky color palettes storm the fashion world with a 300-piece fall collection priced from $48 to $450.The robust range will launch during August Market Week and will be sold in company-owned stores, online, and at retailers for Spring 2013.
“It’s amazing to go from being a production potter to expanding into a zillion different categories,” Adler told WWD. He also revealed that jewelry will be available from Fall 2013.
We agree. Alder is to home what Kate Spade was to handbags. And the opportunites are endless.
