Collection now available in select stores, and online at www.potterybarn.com
Pottery
Barn, a member of the Williams-Sonoma, Inc. (NYSE: WSM) portfolio of
brands, today unveils the brand’s first collection with fashion duo
Emily Current and Meritt Elliott (‘Emily + Meritt’), joining sister
brands PBteen and Pottery Barn Kids in partnership with the Los
Angeles-based designers. The Emily + Meritt collection mixes Pottery
Barn’s classic lines and casual, stylish aesthetic with playful,
Americana charm to create tabletop accessories, decorative accents,
select furniture and bedding.
Rounding out the Pottery Barn brands’ offering of Emily + Meritt pieces
for the home, the collection features over 30 items characterized by
classic ticking stripes, unexpected gold and brass accents, whimsical
touches and washed chambray—paying homage to Emily + Meritt’s
denim-focused flagship apparel brand, The GREAT.
“After years of creating covetable rooms for both kids and teens, it’s
exciting to design something for the living, dining and master bedrooms!
We approach interiors the same way we approach fashion – layering
whimsical, unexpected elements back to rethought classics,” said Emily
Current and Meritt Elliott. “In this collection, we’ve combined washed
black and white with touches of vintage-y gold and textural chambray-
which can feel both graphic and versatile.”
Signature pieces from the collection include the Bergere Chair, Brass
Peace Sign Jewelry Holder, Raleigh Denim Bench and Denim
Boudoir Pillow. Prices will range from $8-$999 USD.
“Emily + Meritt bring such an effortless sense of glamour to our brand,
taking classic patterns and prints—such as antique ticking stripes and
hand-drawn caricatures, creates a stylish expression for the modern
household,” said Monica Bhargava, Executive Vice President of Product
Development and Design, Pottery Barn. “After incredible success with
collections for Pottery Barn Kids and PBteen, we are so excited to
unveil pieces for the entire home.”
Later this year, the Emily + Meritt for Pottery Barn collection will
continue exclusively for the holiday 2017 season, focusing on unique
décor and magical entertaining moments. Product highlights will include
the Gold Top Hat Ice Bucket, Gold Jingle Bells Wine Opener,
and a denim tree skirt and chambray stocking.

ABOUT EMILY CURRENT AND MERITT ELLIOTT
Emily Current and Meritt Elliott, a creative team since 1999, are the
celebrated Los Angeles-based duo known for their whimsical and timeless
sensibility that recalls classic Americana. Drawn to one another’s
innate sense of style, Emily and Meritt first met in college and quickly
realized the fresh and fearless aesthetic they share – an affinity for
individuality, dressing without rules and mixing high and low with
confidence and flair. In Spring 2012, the twosome joined an elite rank
of designers when they became members of the prestigious Council of
Fashion Designers of America (CFDA). In a visual ode to their varied
career, encapsulating their love affair with denim and imaginative
worldview, Emily and Meritt penned A Denim Story: Inspirations from
Bell-bottoms to Boyfriends, a coffee table book published by Rizzoli in
Spring 2014. In Spring 2015, Emily and Meritt launched their much
anticipated, multi-category women’s collection, aptly named THE GREAT.
Whether they’re designing a collection, creating memorable outfits for
clients, styling unforgettable editorial spreads and advertising
campaigns, appearing as fashion experts, or consulting for companies
inspired by their distinct world-view, Emily and Meritt always bring a
playful, intelligent spirit to whatever they touch. For more information
