This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies. Declined by ClaudineChionh 40 days ago. | |

Eastern Accents
[edit]Eastern Accents is a Chicago-based manufacturer of luxury bedding and home décor known for domestically made products and in-house design, operating a factory on Chicago’s West Side.[1] Founded in 1989 by married couple Ridvan and Siw Tatargil, the family-run company operates from Chicago’s Avondale neighborhood.[2] Company origins trace to kilim pillows made from damaged Turkish rugs at a 3,000-square-foot loft in the Fulton Market neighborhood in Chicago. In 2006, Eastern Accents undertook a $10 million expansion that added a 60,000-square-foot, two-story addition and rehabilitated three buildings, building toward a multi-structure campus of roughly 230,000 square feet; at the time, the company supplied about 1,500 retailers and employed around 300 people. The company has been wholly owned and run by the Tatargil family since its inception.[3]
In 2011, then-Mayor Richard M. Daley toured the company’s expanded manufacturing campus, and praised its role in the surrounding 30th and 31st wards; the firm reported about 191 employees with plans to add 100 jobs over five years.[4]
COVID-19 Response
[edit]During the COVID-19 pandemic, shifted part of its operations to mask production primarily donating them to essential workers and shelters, with some sold to the public to support donations.[5]
Design Protection and Litigation
[edit]In the mid-2000s, Eastern Accents filed a lawsuit alleging that Ashley Furniture Industries and Southwestern Furniture, which operates several Ashley Furniture Home Stores, had copied Eastern Accents designs; the complaint referred to “Knockoff Collections” and characterized the copying as “wholesale,” allegations which Ashley Furniture denied.[6]
Expansion to High Point, North Carolina
[edit]In May 2023, Eastern Accents announced a year-round presence in High Point, North Carolina, repurposing the former Hayworth Roll & Panel factory for production and product showcasing.[7]
Designer Collaborations
[edit]In 2024, interior designer Alexa Hampton launched a limited-edition pillow collection with Eastern Accents, entitled "One of a Kind," which debuted at High Point Market and featuring matched pairs that incorporate mixed materials and techniques such as hand-stitched embroidery and laser cutting.[8] Eastern Accents also partners with several other high-profile interior designers such as Barclay Butera[9], and Thom Filicia of the television show Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.
