Transpac Imports To Debut Artisan Jewelry Collection

(Vacaville, Calif.) – Transpac Imports, one of the gift industry’s foremost suppliers of seasonal, gift and decorative accessory products, will launch a new gift category this show season with its boutique-inspired jewelry collection, PERCH™.

Designed by Debra Mitchell, jewelry artisan and creator of Twisted Silver, LLC®, a company known for its intriguing use of intermingled found objects, metals and natural elements, PERCH™ features approximately 75 designs and 200 SKUs that highlight three different trend categories: Chain Gang, Well Dressed and Natural Elements.

Combining angular and irregular forms, PERCH’s distinct pieces work together to feature a unique collection of styles:

Chain Gang:

A line of layered and draped, twisted and charmed mixed-metal chains that rock. Feminine with an edge that is fresh, this is a look where the more chain, the better.

Well Dressed:

A return to the classics with a touch of glamour. Pearls have not lost their luster; rhinestones add touches of sparkle. Matte silver and gold and gold finishes compose a look that is drawn from the timeless, yet on-trend current.

Natural Elements:

Mixing traditions and cultures, metals and texture, this line embraces organic style inspired by Mother Earth. Birds, leaves and shells artistically combined with burnished finishes, unique chains and leather cords bring any look up-to-the-moment.

“Jewelry with a hand-crafted appeal has become increasingly popular amongst our loyal customer base, so we wanted to create a line that fulfills the need for trend-right merchandise at an exceptional value,” says Doug Lauer, CEO of Transpac Imports. “When we discovered Debra and she agreed to work with us, we could not have been more thrilled. Her stylistic approach and creative focus matches beautifully to how we envisioned our first jewelry offering should look. The debut is going to be a very exciting step in Transpac’s continued strategy to offer affordable and fresh gift items to our retailers.”

“Collaborating with Transpac Imports to create PERCH allows me a rare opportunity to share my design philosophy in a different way, and assist in discovering some lovely pieces to be included in this distinctive jewelry line,” says Debra Mitchell. “I know customers will enjoy the authentic appeal and distinctive look brought together in PERCH.”

All pieces, from necklaces to bracelets to earrings, are available in multiple finishes and were created to make a wearable statement, adding an element of dash to every wardrobe. PERCH™ will debut at various shows during the summer 2011 market season, including Dallas, Atlanta, Chicago and Las Vegas.
