The newly launched Emily & Meritt for Pottery Barn collection boasts chic and playful designs that are made to be effortlessly layered, mixed and matched, much like the clothing pieces produced by the fashion designers. The bedding range takes cues from the ready-to-wear collection from Emily Current and Meritt Elliott, a well-known creative duo based in Los Angeles.
In the casual bedding collection, consumers will find garment-dyed fabrics, rich textures, cozy fall colors and fun patterns that have the potential to create a custom look when mixed and matched. Americana influences can be seen throughout the collection with designs that reference yet comfortable t-shirts, army jackets and denim materials. As such, Pottery Barn calls this fashion-inspired fall product collection the "perfect outfit for your bed."
