Inspired by the light-hearted movie, “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants,” but instead of traveling pants, designers can get a traveling sample box. Beginning next week, Chatham House Lifestyle Gallery Showroom Manager Leslie Rolfe will drop off a Verellen sample box to a local design firm and will return one a week later to pass it along to another designer. The sample box will include new fabric introductions, catalogs, and a list of top-selling items with retail and cost.
