West Elm, one of the iconic home furnishings brands of Williams-Sonoma, Inc. (WSM), recently entered into a partnership with Kate Spade Saturday, fashion and lifestyle brand of Kate Spade & Company (KATE). The alliance is aimed at creating a new collection of furniture, bedding, rugs and home accessories. The new home furnishing collection will be available around early Jan 2015, in West Elm stores across the U.S. and Canada and also online at westelm.com.
