The Patersonrose^® Story

A passion for linen and with 5 children between them, Textile designer Sally Paterson and marketer Lisa Rose followed their instincts and dreams to launch Patersonrose (formerly Apples & Pears) in 2005.

Initially focussed solely on bed linen, Patersonrose has since grown to expand beyond the bed, offering a wide range of co-ordinated accessories that complete the entire look of a child's bedroom.

The 'Patersonrose' philosophy is to design un-themed fabrics (no fairies or dinosaurs), which cater to a wide age group, inspiring fun, colour and affordable quality bed linen and accessories for children of all ages.

"We want to provide children with a platform to create a space that is uniquely their own."

Today :

As a New Zealand company, Patersonrose has established key retailer relationships throughout New Zealand, Australia, and South East Asia. The brand has continued to grow, expanding into a wide range of complimentary products, with a rug collection launched in May 2011.

"Marketers talk about building a business, a brand, a label, which we are doing; but for Sally and I, this is our life; this is our dream and what we truly love to do every day."

Becoming a leading textile brand in Australasia, market development further afield has commenced, with the company committed to providing Patersonrose to customers globally.
