Anna Griffin, Inc. Expands its Array of Lifestyle Products

Anna Griffin, Inc. releases dynamic new patterns in its fashion accessory and social stationery product lines. With an unprecedented amount of product shapes and designs, there is an option to coordinate with every outfit and a variety of personal styles. New patterns offer bright orange and pink, contemporary flowers and modern geometrics. There is an elevated versatility and range to this year’s offering.

As Anna Griffin, President of Anna Griffin, Inc. states, “The new designs are conversation pieces. They are that pop of color and signature piece that exemplifies the owner’s unique style. This year, there is so much variety, a mother and daughter could carry the same bag in a different pattern and make totally different fashion statements or one person could have a bag in two different patterns for a totally different look.”

Further solidifying the company’s position as a cross-category designer of pattern driven products, the over 125 newly-launched products are designed for fashionable, yet practical women who like to be organized and stylish. The social stationery and fashion accessories all include thoughtful detailing and durable construction.

Camilla Collection, by Anna Griffin – With lush bouquets of pink and blue roses offset with a slate gray background, the Camilla collection is perfect for the romantic flower lover in all of us. The simple, organic beauty of an English garden makes the collection charming and elegant.

Olivia Collection, by Anna Griffin – the Olivia collection exemplifies an exuberant floral style inspired by the great tradition of European perennial borders. A flourished damask pattern of grass green and rosy pink makes the Olivia collection sophisticated yet fun.

Eleanor Collection, by Anna Griffin – Anna Griffin takes design cues for the Eleanor collection from 1920’s vintage hatbox stripes and rose bouquets. With a black background that punctuates the turquoise and bright pink detailing, the bags, accessories and stationery are eye-catching and fashion forward.

Hope Chest, by Josephine Kimberling – The Hope Chest Collection has a modern heritage vibe with a stylized design that depicts crocheted medallions and bold layers of flowers in a trendy color palette of chartreuse, blue and pink.

Blomma, by Jessica Swift – Jessica Swift is known for her daring use of color and quirky and fun pattern sense. The Blomma collection conjures the happiness of sunny days with a bright disposition of warm and vibrant oranges and pinks in a screen print-style chrysanthemum pattern.

Gabbie, by Maude Asbury – Preppy with punchy prints, the Gabbie collection showcases bursting blossoms and letterpress prints in a cheerful, primary-colored collage of bold green, red, cobalt blue and turquoise graphics.
