It isn’t often one really thinks about the products they use and enjoy every day and how they are made, let alone, believe anything as luxurious, durable and sustainable such as commercial and residential carpet can be made right here in our Southern California back yard of City of Industry.
Welcome to Bentley Prince Street via KCAL News and the “Allie at Work” segment on KTLA Morning News!
As a young interior designer many years ago, my first mill tour made an indelible impression on me – since then, many technological advances have been made to the making of carpet to increase production, salvage post manufactured materials for closed loop recycling, save costs and natural resources, etc.
Visionaries like Anthony and his team at Bentley Prince Street strive for continued improvements while having a bit of fun and whimsy – their partnership with the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandise (FIDM) for instance, recently featured custom design haute couture fashioned and featured by students at one of their recent NeoCon parties – as carpet is an over exaggerated textile, the Bentley Prince Street team collaborated with FIDM to create stunning apparel now, touring the country...all this from a factory mill which employs 400 or so in the Los Angeles area – high design, quality, education, philanthropy, leadership and commitment is summed up in this short film clip – a great exchange between Anthony and his new “manager” Allie at Work!
