Koi Suwannagate Launches New Line For Anthropologie

Merchandise Marketing alumna Koi Suwannagate has launched a secondary line, Lawan (Thai for "beautiful"), for Anthropologie. The first collection features ultra soft wool knits -- a gown, two cardigans and a sleeveless top -- that retail from $228 to $298. Koi's signature hand-sculpted appliques are featured throughout.

She told WWD, “We had so many requests for pieces with a more affordable price point,” explained Suwannagate. “But we make everything in-house and it would have been too expensive for us. Working with Anthropologie was a natural fit.”
