DALLAS – HiEnd Accents will introduce suede, leather and cashmere in its Stetson Home collection at WESA Market in Dallas next week, along with new collections in its Paseo Road division.
WESA is a biannual equestrian trade show (WESA stands for Western & English Sales Association). It will take place Aug. 18-21 at Dallas Market Center.
Stetson Home is a relatively new licensed home textiles collection that celebrates the spirit of the American West. The new season introduces higher-end pieces in elevated fabrics including genuine suede, leather and cashmere “to support the brand’s premium positioning,” the companies said. A subtle paisley motif makes a quiet appearance on a pieced suede blanket.
Sharing the floor: the debut of Moon Rein for Paseo Road, with a showroom event on the market’s second day, and two new Tasha Polizzi for Paseo Road collections.
Moon Rein is the work of Waco, Texas-based interior designer Christi Proctor Hurst, whose velvet bedding is cut and sewn by hand in her own workroom. Her debut runs to beds, pillows, throws and curtains, all of it velvet, with details like a gathered ruffle running the full drop of a skirt, a velvet rosette set into a ruffled frame and strong colors like garnet, midnight blue and chartreuse.
“The Velvet Hour with Christi Proctor Hurst,” a showroom event on Wednesday, Aug. 19, from 3 – 5 p.m., will feature a showroom walk-through with Hurst as she discusses the line, the materials and how she layers a bed.
“Velvet is not a quiet fabric and I have never asked it to be,” said Hurst, founder of Moon Rein. “Three decades of making these beds by hand taught me where to hold back instead. The drop of a skirt, the weight of a ruffle, the one color that keeps a room from going flat.”
Tasha Polizzi for Paseo Road adds two collections that layer with the Stella faux silk velvet and textured basics already in the line. Serape stripes anchor them, in copper brown, dusty aqua and celadon, alongside prairie florals printed on slub cotton with a faded hand. The pillows are finished by hand, and one run borrows the framed borders and medallion centers that make a vintage Western scarf worth saving.
“Western design has never been one look, and these collections are proof,” said Jonathan He, president of HiEnd Accents. “Heritage from Stetson Home, velvet and opulence from Christi Proctor Hurst, color and handwork from Tasha Polizzi. Three different answers to the same tradition, and every one of them is beautiful.”
