KN Karen Neuburger® Collection for Spas, Boutique Hotels and Specialty Retail - New KN apparel and products feature baby terry, double plush and exclusive KN Cool® fabrics

(San Rafael, CA—March 10, 2008) The KN Karen Neuburger® lifestyle brand today launches a new KN Karen Neuburger® Collection product line with customizable amenities and turndown gifts for boutique hotels, loungewear and apparel for in-spa use and retail. This new collection builds on the KN brand’s rich heritage of thoughtful details, softness and quality using baby terry, double plush and exclusive KN Cool® fabrics.

“With our new line of spa apparel and products for the KN Karen Neuburger Collection, we’re introducing a whole new audience to our heritage expertise in comfort,” says Dustin Eber, President, KN Ltd. “What a better way for spas and hotels to create a soothing and peaceful home away from home than by adding the KN touch.”

For boutique hotels, the collection’s shawl collar double plush robes, which can be customized with embroidery to include hotel logos, provide a unique branded amenity or turndown gift for guests. These soft-as-mink robes are also available in stock or custom colors. KN’s soft and snuggly, signature lounge socks can also be customized with embroidery or woven logo tabs. These socks can custom dyed and ordered in either solid, striped or polka dot patterns, with or without rubber gripper soles.

For spas, KN offers a special treatment wrap for women that feature innovative button-off straps and a stitched, elasticized top, rather than traditional Velcro closures. With the shoulder straps, clients can move around freely without any fear of accidental exposure. These straps can also be unbuttoned to allow full access to the neck and shoulder areas during spa treatments.

For retail programs, sorbet-inspired KN Cool sleepwear separates and baby terry robes and wraps are stocked and can be ordered for at-once delivery. Just in time for summer, the lightweight, baby terry offer a quick-to-dry solution that keep the skin cool after a heat treatment, dip in the hot tub or sauna and poolside relaxation. The exclusive KN Cool pima cotton, poly and elastane blend likewise provides a soft, cotton-rich fabrication that wicks moisture away from the skin’s surface for comfort, day or night.

Beginning in May 2008, this new KN Karen Neuburger collection will be available for consumer purchase at the KN lifestyle brand’s e-commerce site. For more information and to preview products, please visit www.karenneuburger.com/spa
