The Lure of Leather in the New Hamptons by Atlas Homewares.

    Glendale, CA. July 26, 2007 -- Exotic beauty paired with strength and durability, the Hamptons Collection of knobs and pulls adds leather to its portfolio of style. The already popular line of hardware takes on a new look in leather, with a hook - literally. Organically exquisite and in chi-chi Hamptons style, the Collection continues to celebrate nature, as leather joins knob and pull finishes in fine bamboo and earth-toned hues. A fluid hook, for draping your fluffy bathrobe or luxurious towel, adds an accent at once utilitarian and vogue.

    The Lure of Leather

    "Leather was a natural choice," explains Atlas Homewares owner and designer Adrienne Morea. "The Hamptons Collection was inspired by the crashing waves of the Atlantic, the sea oats swaying in the breeze and the fluffy drifts of sand dunes at Long Island's exclusive oceanfront playground. Adding leather as an option lent yet another dimension to the primordial urge in all of us to be one with all of the wonderful elements of nature."

    Available in finishes of Aged Bronzed/Expresso, Polished Chrome/Expresso, Aged Bronzed/Saddle and Polished Chrome/Saddle, the Hamptons Leather Collection transforms home décor from ordinary to extraordinary with minimal expense. Suggested retail for the 1.5" knobs is $8.90, and the large, 2" knobs, $9.90. Leather pulls come in 4.5" for $12.50, and in 8.25" for $28.90. Suggested retail for the marvelous 3" leather hook is $41.40.
