Ducks Unlimited partners with Kimlor Mills to offer home goods

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Ducks Unlimited (DU) is proud to announce a corporate partnership with Kimlor Mills, a premier designer, manufacturer and wholesale distributor of bedding and home textiles.

As DU's newest corporate partner, Kimlor will offer an extensive collection of DU-branded home accessories, including comforter sets, draperies and rugs for the bedroom, along with bath towels and various kitchen linens and accessories. Not only will consumers be able to purchase great-looking, DU-branded merchandise for their home, they will also be supporting conservation since a portion of each purchase will be returned to DU for their conservation efforts.

"Kimlor is an industry-leading designer and manufacturer of home décor items, and it's only fitting that we partner to offer DU-licensed products for the home or hunting camp," said Jeremy Smith, DU's director of corporate relations. "This partnership will position the DU brand at all major outdoor retailers and invarious independent sporting goods stores as well as specialty retailers like Bed, Bath and Beyond."

Kimlor plans to launch the DU home accessory line at the 2015 SHOT Show in Las Vegas with an initial product offering of more than 50 items. Kimlor currently holds licenses and manufactures products for Mossy Oak, Realtree, Browning and Bone Collector brands.

"We are truly excited about the opportunity to partner with Ducks Unlimited," said Jan Fogle, Kimlor sales manager. "Obtaining the DU license allows us to reach a new outdoor consumer and continue to 'Bring the Outdoors In.' We look forward to growing this new business segment as well as knowing the impact we're making on wetlands conservation."

Located in Orangeburg, S.C., Kimlor has been in business for more than 20 years. Consumers may purchase Kimlor bedding products at national department stores, specialty stores, catalog companies and online retailers starting early next year.
