At the crux of the company’s seasonal introductions are two main style stories: Modern Glam and Modern Rustic.
“We’ve been seeing high demand from designers for these two categories, and as we all know, what designers are asking for typically percolates down to mass in a cycle or two,” explained Jonatan He, who recently joined Hi-End Acccents under the newly created role of director.
He elaborated: “Our Modern Glam Collection marries the latest style trends with classic design elements, blending both form and function.”
This collection centers on luxury fabrics, special details, metallics fabrications and high-shine accessories—”all of which result in an elegant, refined home,” He said. These include:
• Pastoral Jacquard, an updated take on traditional French toile. It features idyllic scenes from the countryside woven in rich, metallic yarns for a smooth touch.
• Lyocell, a grouping of quilts, duvets and sheet sets made out of 100% Lyocell. Touting a soft sheen and signature breathability, Lyocell is an eco-friendly alternative to traditional fibers. “Lyosell is one of the most beautiful prints we’ve introduced,” said Zheng, explaining Hi-End Accents partnered with Covington Fabrics for the artwork of the 14-color floral print pattern.
The Modern Rustic collection blends sophisticated touches with rustic elements, including sleek, industrial lines, bursts of cozy texture and nature-inspired accouterments. The result is informal elegance that is upscale yet approachable. The offerings include:
• Stonewashed Cotton Canvas, a grouping of coverlets, duvets and shams (standard and euro) made out of all-natural cotton canvas and including an oversized box stitch design and stonewashed texture. The initial offering spans a palette of six “cozy comfortable colors,” Zheng noted – terracotta, sarsaparilla, duffle bag, denim, stone, and charcoal. More colors will be added this fall.
• The Maguey collection, comprising throws and pillows that have been handwoven by a collective of 50 weavers in Guatemala. Each item takes upwards of 40 hours to craft and create.
