The product line will feature LowTides high-end beach chairs built with upcycled ocean plastics, as well as towels and beach blankets made from Repreve post-consumer recyclables.
"By collaborating with LowTides, we can expand our sustainable offerings to include beach and outdoor products made of ocean-bound plastics," said Penne Cairoli, president of Laura Ashley, Inc. (Americas). "LowTides captured the essence of Laura Ashley and incorporated our signature prints in a truly innovative collection."
"The Laura Ashley brand has made an indelible impression on the US fashion industry. Most people I know, myself included, grew up with clothes, beds, and walls adorned with their prints. Their practice of quality and style-led products is one that LowTides emulates. In creating each item, we push the limits on upcycled material aiming to reimagine beach chairs and beach accessories as stylish, personable, and sustainable," reflects Elizabeth Ackmann, co-founder and marketing director of LowTides.
