“A Beautiful Life”
Kirkland, WA – August 12, 2020 - Arte Italica, a leading provider of Italian handmade tabletop and home accessories for nearly a quarter-century is pleased to announce its merger with Crown Linen Designs. Crown Linen Designs, a lifestyle brand of European linen apparel, tabletop, and home accessories was founded by Victoria Fanning in 2014 and has become one of the industry’s most dynamic brands.
The combined company will be led by Co-Chief Executive Officers Chris Collins and Victoria Fanning with each continuing to focus on their respective brands.
“I am absolutely thrilled,” said Victoria Fanning, “I have loved Arte Italica since purchasing my first, of many, pieces in 1999. Our look has always been influenced by Arte Italica, which makes them pair so naturally. We share the same vision of providing customers distinctive, timeless, everyday pieces for creating a beautiful home and a beautiful life. I think this partnership was always meant to be.” Chris Collins adds: “It did not take long to conclude that this is a perfect marriage - particularly for our customers. Merging our lines brings our table and home offerings to a level of beauty and elegance that is unmatched in this or any industry. The quality, sophistication, and uniqueness of our pieces come together to complete the beauty of the table and the home.
This is a partnership where one plus one will equal three.” Arte Italica and Crown Linen Designs will present their Fall 2020 line via their online virtual showroom beginning August 17. They will also offer dedicated video conferencing appointments to their retailers beginning the same date.
