“My style is already wild and whimsical so working with Pottery Barn Kids to develop my first collections for kids and baby was a natural fit,” said Justina Blakeney. “Between their seemingly unlimited resources of talent and expertise and my penchant for hand-painted patterns and my boho sensibility, the rooms came out feeling imaginative, creative and carefree -- and with a spirit of adventure -- all things I want for my kid, but also kids everywhere!!”
“Justina Blakeney’s colorful style and ability to create an oasis through print and pattern made her a natural partner for Pottery Barn Kids,” said Jennifer Kellor, President, Pottery Barn Kids. “Drawing inspiration from Justina’s own worldly designs, we are thrilled to unveil a collection that epitomizes her beloved colorful, soulful, free-spirited aesthetic.”
The Justina Blakeney for Pottery Barn Kids collection will be available in December 2017 at select Pottery Barn Kids stores and at www.potterybarnkids.com. For more details please visit potterybarnkids.com/justina-blakeney.
