Tales Of A Fourth Generation Textile Executive: Clear The Decks! Peppered Cotton Checks, Plaids & Stripes Are Headed To Pittsburgh.
OMG! It is Wednesday again and I am back as promised.
I don’t particularly like to be repetitive, but I truly can’t stop talking about this new group of Peppered Checks, Plaids & Stripes from Pepper Cory. We call them “Fancies.” I am super-excited about this new product and you should be too. Truly!
I hope you are paying attention because you don’t want to miss the boat on this one. Truly!
This line and the 10 other May releases from Studioe were sent out to the reps around May 1st and the orders on this line have been overwhelming thus far. Truly!
I personally am so excited about this line, that you will see me proudly walking around market with a tie like the one in the photo below. 
Try and ignore the belly and the shirt being all discombobulated. That man in your life would love a tie like this.
Check (no pun intended) the line out for yourself!
Aren’t they gorgeous? You should feel how nice the hand is too….just like the Peppered Cotton Solids. Don’t forget that the hand is what distinguishes the Studioe shot cottons from all the others in the market place. Truly!
Not only is the hand like butter, but the “Fancies” (plaids, checks & stripes) can be paired perfectly with many of the Peppered Cotton Solids. As you can see, there are 3 patterns in this group and they come in 6 colorways each: earth, gravel, sweetheart pink, purple haze, aquarium and deep water.
This line is being sold in 10 yard cuts only and the first round of goods will start shipping in August with the new 15 Peppered Cotton solids. If you order the entire 18 bolts of fancies or the 15 new solids or all 33, you will get free freight. This is a very special treat for all those West Coast Studioers as the Studioe fabric is shipped from Seneca, South Carolina. Shout out to all my West Coasters! Booyah! So take the plunge and get involved before your competitors beat you to the punch. Last but not least, there is a wonderful project to go with the fancies and we expect to be creating some additional projects to keep this line alive and kicking.
For those of you attending market, you should definitely put it on your calendar to see the schoolhouse sponsored by Studioe. It is called “The Shot Cotton Party Continues” and it is in room 316 from 11:35 until 12:05. The party isn’t really continuing, it is just getting started. So get on your dancing shoes and get ready to see Pepper Cory dazzle you with information about this line and the rest of her fabrics. Make sure to get there early as last year the fire Marshall had to close us down for overcrowding. Truly, NOT!
This is Scott Fortunoff signing off from the Jaftex Headquarters in Manhattan. Watch out Pittsburgh, here comes Studioe with a bag full of treats. Make sure to visit me at booth 735 and mention my blog for a nice surprise. See Ya Real Soon!
