FRAAS – The Scarf Company focuses on cruise lines and launches Spring/Summer 19 collection


FRAAS – The Scarf Company is returning to TFWA World Exhibition (Red Village, K29) to showcase its Spring/Summer 19 Collection and will be highlighting a new personalisation concept developed specifically for the growing cruise line business.

Cruise ships listing FRAAS scarves are being offered the opportunity to install a special embroidery machine that enables each item bought by passengers to be personalised.

 “Personalisation has been developing over the years and has become an important trend in both the high street and travel retail. Gifting is a huge part of the FRAAS offer, so the addition of a free personalisation service creates a further incentive to buy,” comments Andreas Schmidt, Owner and Managing Director, FRAAS. “The embroidery machine can be onboard for the full length of the trip, so passengers can even buy items for themselves and then wear during the cruise experience.”

Already listed successfully with Tallink & Silja line, FRAAS is confident that the personalisation offer will help it to build its cruise business moving forward.  “We will have the machine on the stand in Cannes and will embroider a scarf for all visitors attending with pre-booked meetings,” continues Schmidt. “There’s no better way to show customers how a promotion like this works than by recreating it on the stand.”

In addition to this new concept, FRAAS will be showcasing its 2019 spring/summer collection, dedicated to colour.

Psychology has long recognised the significance of colour, especially in the unconscious role it often plays in mood and decision-making. It is just this power that the designers at FRAAS – The Scarf Company used to inspire its Spring/Summer 2019 collection. Bold colours, pastel hues, large areas of colour, patterns and motifs in watercolours, large prints and fine patterns are the main focus of the collection.

The FRAAS spring / summer range 2019 is split into three trend themes:
 
Meccano Toys
MECCANO TOYS with colour blocking in red, pink, violet as well as clean black and white scarves, shawls and accessories designed with clear patterns inspired by machinery and pop art. And as a highlight to each item, these scarves are splashed with slogans about ‘love’ and ‘solidarity’.

Shawl 623765, 103 x 103cm, 75% Cotton, 25% Silk.
 
Poolglow
POOLGLOW offers pastel colours, watercolours and exotic fruit (‘vitalising vitamins’) – as well as clean stripes in blue and white that suggest a  feeling of the sea, summer evenings and a light breeze toying with the scarf.

Scarf 623723, 50 x 178cm, 100% Cotton.
 
Polished Memories
POLISHED MEMORIES is the most playful category of the summer range. Its faded colours are nonetheless still fully radiant – like memories. A mix of patterns from strict, graphic checks, and lines - to patterns, as if hand sketched, of hearts, circles, and lines are brought together in one modern piece. Colours include naturals, rose and pale yellow.

Stole 623765, 150 x 140cm, 50% Modal, 50% Viscose.

FRAAS Signature Collection
In addition, the company will be showcasing its FRAAS Signature Collection. With RRPs of €69-399, the collection is exclusively manufactured in Germany and Italy and is distilled from the carefully guarded essence of FRAAS’s expertise. In this new capsule collection, the best of 135 years of scarf manufacturing is combined with the ambitions of a leader in the world market.
