A long time in the making.

We’ve always had a presence in New York. In 1991, Arkwright Home’s founding partner Bob Curran serviced the five boroughs from a tiny warehouse space in the meatpacking district. Walking hockey bags of samples to neighborhood bodegas and discount chains (uphill, both ways, in the snow:). As the business grew, the appetite for better showrooms, warehousing, trade markets, marketing assets, and sales teams has groomed Arkwright Home into an international success.

We still carry the bargains and opportunities our founding customers love. Now, we partner with more notable mills producing better opportunities for value.

Building brands.

Since 2016 we have built a stable of first-quality textile brands to service various market segments. We count The Sloppy Chef as one of our favorite successes. Previously known as “Logan Square,” with two lines of opportunity kitchen textiles, the rebrand happened in 2019. Since then, The Sloppy Chef has blossomed into a complete line of cotton and microfiber kitchen textiles. Recently, the brand won Home Textiles Today’s Reader Ranking Award for Best Kitchen Textiles… We also took home the award for Best Table Linen.

A new direction.

2022 marked the beginning of a new era in Arkwright Home’s product growth. The Aston & Arden, luxury textiles brand, started as a single oversized pinstripe cabana resort towel. The line sold quickly and gave us proof of concept to move forward with more luxurious textiles. The brand soft-launched throughout the year, starting with our first foray into Turkish Bath Towels. Over the following months, we added three more towel lines, T600 sateen, cotton-alternative sheets such as eucalyptus Tencel and bamboo rayon, and luxe blankets. Response to the brand has been positive, especially online, in resort destinations such as Bermuda and national retail chains such as Macy’s.

A recent online survey by Packaged Facts found 45% of consumers surveyed would call themselves “avid bakers.” And 84% of respondents reported that they baked at home with some frequency over the past year.

A combination of factors – having more time at home, a desire for homemade foods, and an interest in healthy trends (keto, grain-free, and paleo diets) – caused sales of baking-related products to grow by nearly 25% last year. And industry experts expect the home baking trend is here to stay.

Julie Ohana, a culinary art therapist, told CNBC that baking offers us a soothing way to cope with challenging times. “The process helps aid the baker, and the finished product helps comfort the person or people receiving the delicious outcome,” she explained.

When things seem to be whirling out of control in the outside world, baking also helps give us a satisfying feeling of control over something. Experts say baking is a mindful activity that can be calming to the nerves and the spirit.

The kitchen is indeed the heart of every home. Yet, every family is different in how they want their kitchen to look. Some people prefer streamlined and modern, while others like things warm and cozy.

To maximize your resale value, you know you need to appeal to a broad cross-section of this wide spectrum of homebuyers with the design of this central hub of your home. But how can you keep your kitchen neutral-looking without making it seem, well, boring?

We’ve got the answer. And it’s a budget-friendly one at that! You can spice up a bland kitchen with beautiful kitchen textiles from Arkwright Home. Here’s how!

Add vibrant color. Many real estate agents advise their clients to cover outdated kitchen cabinets and fading walls with a fresh coat of white paint. The look of a white kitchen is clean and timeless. However, an all-white kitchen can look a bit stark and void of personality.

You can add instant pops of color to a white kitchen with the Arkwright Home Kitchen Towel Collection. Each package of 12 features white cotton terry dishcloths emboldened with colorful striped or windowpane accents. You’ll love the classic good looks and the pick-me-up the saffron, blue, grey, and tan accents provide in these premier quality towels.

Bring on the smiles. You can’t help but smile when you see the fun patterns on our Sloppy Chef collection of rugs. You can choose from happy chefs, wine motifs, colorful cutlery, salt and pepper, and country kitchen motifs for these durable nylon rugs that are the perfect thing to add a dash of whimsy and personality to your kitchen floor.

Liven up countertops. These bright Sloppy Chef microfiber mats will not only help keep your countertops dry but will also add instant interest and energy to the room.

The 15×20 mats come in a package of two, featuring one of eight vibrant patterns, including geometrics, florals, organic prints, and foody elements. No matter which pattern you choose, we can assure you it will be anything but dull.

Make handwashing happier. We’ve all gotten better at washing our hands these days, but the drying part doesn’t have to be hum-drum. Check out our bold kitchen hand towel choices!

First, our Sloppy Chef Lucky Charm set features a white towel with an embroidered lucky charm symbol and a coordinating solid-colored towel. Each symbol reflects a cultural good luck symbol.

The set’s hangtag briefly explains the origin story of the symbol, making these towels perfect for gift-giving.

Next, you’ll want to consider our color-coordinated terry kitchen towels, dish towels, and potholders. Made with yarn-dyed, ring-spun yarn, these absorbent accessories will freshen up your kitchen and help make your clean-up chores a breeze.

Livening up a dull kitchen need not be an expensive endeavor. You’ll find that even a few splashes of color will work wonders. Even mixing the shades of your neutrals, such as adding a few new grey tones to your whites, can make a difference in an all-white space.

And the best part of using textile accessories as design elements is that you can change them up whenever the mood – or the change of the season – strikes you. For more ideas on how to liven up your living space with quality home textiles, visit arkwrighthome.com.

Getting together outside for a picnic, a barbecue, or drinks around the pool or the firepit offers us a chance to celebrate with friends and family — and boost our mood at the same time.

However, we’re all a little out of practice in terms of attending social events. Maybe you need some ideas for hostess gifts, for example. Bringing a small hostess gift (the term used for a gift for either a host or a hostess) is a polite way to thank someone for their hospitality – especially if it’s the first time you are visiting their home.

According to etiquette expert Emily Post, a hostess gift need not be elaborate or expensive. Ideally, the gift should be something they can use during the course of entertaining either now or in the future. Examples are flowers, wine, specialty foods, or small items for the home.

Here are a few ideas for gifts from Arkwright Home that are sure to delight your host or hostess:

Sloppy Chef Embroidered Lucky Charm Towels

How would you like to give something that’s both practical and a conversation starter at the same time?

Our Sloppy Chef® Lucky Charm set includes a white towel with an embroidered symbol of good luck as well as a brightly colored towel. Each hang tag explains the cultural origin of the lucky symbol.

The 10 different charms include Buddha, four-leaf clover, barn stars, fish, horseshoe, Hamsa, ladybug, rooster, pineapple, and sugar skulls.

These soft towels are made from 100% cotton that is absorbent and quick drying. The eye-catching designs and colors make them perfect for uses as hand towels, tea towels, cleaning cloths, dish towels, or decorative towels in the indoor or outdoor kitchen or bar area. These easy-care towels are machine washable and dryable.

Sloppy Chef Kitchen Towels

No one can ever have enough fresh kitchen towels. And the bright colors and patterns on these kitchen towels make them a favorite among our customers.

Terry Kitchen Ensemble

Another option is our popular terry kitchen ensemble of color-coordinated kitchen towels, dish towels, and potholders. These soft, classic items are with yarn-dyed, ring-spun yarn.

Sloppy Chef Fancy Jumbo Kitchen Towel

And if you’re someone who likes to go big with your gifts, why not check out our Sloppy Chef Fancy Jumbo Kitchen Towels. These oversized cloths are made with 100% cotton and feature premium weaves and colors.

The Sloppy Chef Microfiber Printed Drying Mats

Your hostess will love the vibrant patterns on our Sloppy Chef® Drying Mats. Made of 100% polyester printed microfiber, these mats will come in handy during your gathering and the many more parties that are to come!

Here’s one more hostess gift tip from Emily Post. It’s worth it to take the extra time and care to wrap the small bag. “Even if you only use tissue or a decorative bag, it adds to the gesture,” according to the etiquette guru.
