By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, January 13, 2003
Wilmington, N.C. — Leather Italia-USA will debut at the February Tupelo market an opening-price-point leather upholstery line called the Santeramo Collection.
The six 92-inch contemporary, transitional and exposed-wood frames will retail from $799 to $999, said Michael Campbell, president and chief executive officer.
"This creates a much broader approach for our opening offerings," he said.
Sofas feature hand-stitched, premium-grade A hides, top-grain uncorrected leathers, fully aniline-dyed hides, and padded fronts, sides and backs, enhanced with 2.5 foam cell construction.
Pieces can be ordered from Leather Italia-USA's warehouse here with no minimums.
"These frames target our current customers who want a value-priced product with the same quality and high standards they get with our better goods," said Happy Wade, vice president and national sales manager.
Leather Italia-USA has added 25,000 square feet to support the new collection, bringing total warehouse space to 105,000 square feet.
