OAKLAND, Calif., Feb. 29, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- With a rich history
of working with Indian artisans and their traditional techniques to
create unique and authentic products, Cost Plus World Market
(worldmarket.com) is excited to announce the launch of its spring
collection, Voyage Les Indiennes, a celebration of
India's craftsmanship. When World
Market first began importing goods from around the world in the
1950s, the specialty retailer's buyers traveled to India to introduce U.S. customers to beautiful
handcrafted products including rugs, carved decorative pieces and
ceramics.

The new Voyage Les Indiennes Collection combines World
Market's love of discovery and travel to faraway places into
everyday products for the home. The traditional art of block
printing is reflected in textiles including reversible, 100
percent cotton rugs in multicolor patchwork or Kalamkari
patterns. And, due to the handcrafted nature of these rugs, each
one is slightly different, adding genuine uniqueness to one's
home.
The furniture and decor items in the new collection are inspired
by Indian architecture but updated for an urban lifestyle. The
curvy, upholstered Ninda queen headboard and frame paired with the
new Ravi or Khara quilt set and the Basanti Hexagon Table create a
dramatic focal point in any bedroom. The Cala Hammered Coffee Table
brings texture to a living room while the removable top adds
functional storage space for a spare throw or two. Several of the
pieces from the Collection reflect the Colonial England and Moorish
influences in India's architecture
that can still be seen throughout the country today.
Accent pieces like a stamped metal mirror, drum and nesting
tables, embroidered toss pillows and metal door picture frames
allow the customer to display authentic decorative items at an
affordable price. Setting a global tablescape is beautiful and easy
with the Voyage Plates Collection: Four different designs
rimmed with traditional Indian patterns mix and match well with
solid or patterned textiles, and everyday glassware.
And for unique gifts, World Market has a great variety of
affordable items from the Collection, including handmade paper,
gift bags and note cards, hand-painted boxes, and punched metal
lanterns for use indoors and outdoors. The new Voyage Les
Indiennes Collection is available for discovery in stores and
online at worldmarket.com.
