HIGH POINT, N.C. -- There was a lot of buzz around Nourison’s newest licensing partner DKNY at the fall 2024 edition of High Point Market. The designer branded rugs include two different labels: DKNY and DKYNY Pure, and designs within each are coordinated so that retailers can cross-merchandise from each, and consumers can create a cohesive look across multiple rooms.
“There is a big trend for the younger generation, where brands are becoming more important,” said Steven Peykar of Nourison. “They equate brands like DKNY to quality and trend-forward fashion. If you have the right products and the right aesthetics, the brand helps the retailer to move the product. It makes our job as salespeople easier," Peykar said, adding that the DKNY introductions proved an instant hit at market.
