At the New York Market - Duck River has interpreted the Kensie elegant whimsy into a line of home textiles translated from the brand's apparel pieces for young women.

The line was announced during the spring market and now occupies the front bedding space in Duck River's showroom at 295 Fifth Avenue.

"Kensie's designs are so prolific," said Joel Bren, Duck River's head of marketing. "It's bold, colorful and fashion-forward."

Targeting the department store and specialty store channels, Kensie is available in duvet covers as well as comforters.

Elsewhere in bedding, the company has redesigned its set packaging with larger inserts for the front panel and additional inserts on all other sides. The inserts are written in English, Spanish and French.

Duck River is also celebrating its recent move into a new corporate office and automated warehouse in Edison, N.J.

This market, it's also blowing out its fashion dec pillow offerings with twin-packs and three-packs and introducing memory foam bath mats as well as clearer PVC shower curtains.

In window, a core category, cotton and cotton blends are back after a price-mandated shift to poly in earlier seasons.

"We're doing much, much more in energy-saving curtains - and not just for the winter," said Bren. "Look at that hot spell we had during the summer."

Duck River Textile goes social!

Over the past few weeks we have been growing and getting the name out there on Facebook, and Twitter. Following us on facebook and twitter will ease our customers to hear about our new products, where they can get them, and update them with the latest trends of designs!

Kensie, the hip clothing brand for young women, is making its first foray into home through a licensing arrangement with Duck River Textile, which will preview the design concepts during New York Home Fashions Market in its showroom at 295 Fifth Ave.

The collection will encompass bedding, dec pillows, bath accessories, bath rugs and shower curtains. It is expected to launch at retail this fall.

Packaging is an area the company has been emphasizing. Its open packaging of window panels attached to hangers is helping to propel its curtain business. Duck River's comforter set business is booming as well. The company recently expanded into the decorative pillow category with a focus on surface interest and merchandising in sets.

To accommodate its broadening business, Duck River will soon relocate to a larger headquarters space in Edison, N.J. Last August, it opened a warehouse in China, and it recently expanded its quality-control department there. In addition, it has entered several joint venture partnerships with offshore factories.
