The new collection perfectly balances sophistication and whimsy capturing the spirit of our teen customer’s individual style.”
For the first time bath accessories are introduced in the collection. The Emily & Meritt for PBteen bath collection spotlights their signature color palette of black and white with a pop of pale pink and gold accents. The collection includes decorative bath accessories from a Harlequin Shower Curtain to a Cat Face Bath Mat and Classic Heart Towel Set.
“We’re delighted to debut our latest collection with PBteen – just in time for the back-to-school season,” said Emily Current and Meritt Elliott. “Our charming bow-back chair inspires creativity, while the soft pink-colored armoire is an enchanting storage space to stash clothes, shoes, and other accessories. We love all of our new graphic bathroom decor for transforming your get ready space into an expressive extension of your bedroom. And, after a long day of school, sports, and studying, our eyelash pillowcases and thoughtful throw pillows provide a sweet spot to drift away.”
The collection also highlights two signature bedrooms, each with a unique theme, with products across key categories including furniture, bedding, lighting, wall décor and decorative accessories. Petite Palace brings a touch of royal charm with thoughtful prints, including a harlequin diamond-pattern, as well as a color palette of soft blue-grays and pale pinks with golden touches throughout. Standout pieces include a Royal Dresser and Royal Bedside Table, colorful Pennant Flag Garland, and a simple, yet sophisticated, pink and gold Metal Bow Chair. Inspired by a dandelion, the collection includes a whimsically shaped goldWishweed Floor Lamp. True to their playful aesthetic, uniquely shaped pillows create the final decorative touch to the room.
The second bedroom collection, aptly named Marigold Magic, pairs well with Petite Palace and can easily be mixed and matched together. The collection is playful with its use of shapes, pale golden touches and unexpected use of finishings, such as glitter, which is incorporated into accent pieces such as pillows, storage bins and decorative wall garland. Highlights include a Bunny Ear Task Lamp, Princess Crown Pendant Light and a standout pink studded Pyramid Armoire. New to bedding, the collection introduces a yellow and gray Marigold Rose Garden Sheet Set and gray Scallop Ruffle Quilt.
