Merchandise: Children’s Furnishings Catch On

Variety

Merchandise in the catalogs is typically bedding or decor. A simple change of sheets and comforter can create a whole new theme in a room, which Griffith says is an exciting prospect because it isn’t as expensive as new furniture.

Interestingly, in their short existence the furnishings-oriented catalogs have made several product additions. In Pottery Barn Kids’ Summer 2000 book, outdoor water and lawn toys were added, as well as beach towels that are tied to thematic bedroom furnishings.
