“We're always looking to join forces with iconic designers and lifestyle brands to expand our offerings and cater to customers with unique tastes and preferences, which is clear by the numerous successful collaborations we've initiated this year,” said David Yeom, CEO of Evite.“These collections are carefully crafted to resonate with young adult consumers who are increasingly embracing digital invitations while maintaining a desire for sophistication and elegance in their chosen designs.”
Laura Ashley is an iconic heritage brand celebrating its 70th anniversary this year. The brand boasts an extensive archive of charming prints and patterns that are reflected in its collection with Evite. The signature Laura Ashley romantic floral designs and English country-inspired aesthetic are experiencing a resurgence of interest among Gen-Z and Millennial women as the cottage-core trend gains popularity.
“Laura Ashley designs pair perfectly with special occasions, from dinner parties and birthdays to baby showers and wedding parties,” said Carolyn D'Angelo, Senior Managing Director, Gordon Brothers Brands and President of Laura Ashley Global. "Our partnership with Evite has a natural synergy that allows us the opportunity to lend our distinct designs to new customers while elevating some of life's most memorable moments."
Poketo infuses creativity and modern artistry into everyday life through its signature pattern work, which is adored across stationary, accessories, apparel and houseware. Its contemporary, colorful and cheerful designs complement birthday celebrations and dinner parties, adding a touch of liveliness to both occasions.
“Much like Evite, we aim to incorporate art and joy into the everyday lives of our customers,” said Suze Dowling, Chief Business Officer and Co-Founder of Pattern Brands, the parent company of Poketo.“We achieve this through the use of bold, vibrant colors and playful shapes and patterns that seamlessly integrate into experiences, and we're excited to have our designs included in helping people celebrate special occasions.”
In response to customer requests for more branded invitation options, Evite has launched collaborative collections in the past year with various partners, including Disne , Minecraft , Lisa Frank , Sesame Stree , CoComelo and Blipp .
