“There is something special about the magic of MacKenzie-Childs,” said Bob Rosenblatt, Chief Executive Officer of Evine. “The team at MacKenzie-Childs is constantly looking for ways to push the envelope and go where no one has gone before. It seems like a perfect match for them to be the first-ever brand to ‘take-over’ our network and use our video commerce platforms to immerse viewers into the MacKenzie-Childs world of whimsy.”
“MacKenzie-Childs has an amazing and colorful story to tell, and Evine is the perfect canvas to share our story live with our fans,” said Rebecca Proctor, on-air guest and Creative Director of MacKenzie-Childs. “From our design studio in the heart of the Finger Lakes, to our storefront in New York City, we always strive to design products that make customers feel happy and inspired. It’s the unexpected touches and unique details that I’m most excited to share with Evine’s viewers.”
Founded in 1983 as a small pottery in upstate New York, the company quickly grew a strong following of loyal customers who appreciate the brand’s classic, yet quirky designs. Today, MacKenzie-Childs offers a comprehensive line of home decor and furnishings, all of which are handcrafted to be one-of-a-kind.
Premiering on May 3 at 7pm, and May 4 at midnight, 1am, 6am, 1pm and 9pm ET, “MacKenzie-Childs Home TV” will feature some of the brand’s best-known collections, including the Parchment Check, Morning Glory, Flower Market and Courtly Check patterns. Among the products offered will be hand painted tea kettles, mug sets and creamer and sugar sets. During the debut, Evine will offer customers exclusive values.
In addition to the network take-over, the MacKenzie-Childs brand will interact with Beekman 1802 during their premiere, an Evine bath & body concept whose upstate New York farm is located near MacKenzie-Childs’ design studio. These two brands recently joined neighborly forces and created a co-branded product, a blooming-floral soap and lotion set, which includes a hand-painted Courtly Check container. Both brands will appear in each other’s on-air segments and continue to interact with each other throughout the rest of the year.
