Onley Make Believe Makes “Headline News” And “Strike One” For The New Collection

(PRLEAP.COM) SAN FRANCISCO, CA — June 13, 2007 — Gerard Onley, designer of Onley Make Believe Decorative Throw Pillows (OMB), today unveiled the latest additions to its collection of decorative pillows which can be found at the Company’s website (http://www.onleymakebelieve.com/whatsnew2007.htm). OMB is known for its selection of innovative handmade pillows, and again has chosen not to disappoint its audience.

In business since 1996, OMB has continued to expand its pillows galleries to include: Headline News (imported cotton news printed fabric); Strike One (with embroidered stitching resembling a baseball); Zip Lock (accented in real zippers); and Bondage (which is self explanatory). Again, Gerard has brought a “fashion edge” to his new designs, giving them a very sleek and sophisticated appeal (something that is more likely to be associated with designer clothing)…and why not? With a strong visual presentation in mainly Black and Cream and with the use of simple fabrics, Cotton Duck, Linen, and Jute, along with accents of embroidery, these designs are truly something that is a cut above the rest.

While pillows cushions are offered in abundance in many stores, specialty shops and online, OMB is one of the few to offer such original designs to that selective customer. Upon visiting the website, one will be introduced to a very simple, yet bold selection of custom pillows. According to Gerard, “I try to offer something that is quite the opposite of what one would expect in designer pillows, no ruffles, no beads, no flowers, and definitely no fringes. What I design incorporates (2) elements for a timeless look and feel: classic and contemporary with a twist.” It is indeed the “twist”, which makes Gerard’s products standout a room, and definitely reflects the Company’s slogan, “distinctive pillows for distinctive people.”

The Website and Products

With over 500,000 visitors to date to its e-commerce site, OMB has proven that there is an ever-growing market for consumers looking for something unusual and different in home furnishings. Visitors to the Site will discover a full selection of product designs. The 7-Themed galleries suggests what you will find inside: Basic Gallery; Out of Africa Gallery; Asian Gallery; Geometric Gallery; Graffiti Gallery; Deco Gallery and Custom Works Gallery, which offers the buyer to have any of the designs shown, reproduced in their choice of fabric(s) which must be provided. Of course to view the new designs, simple go to “What’s New.”

Each Gallery features detailed pop-up windows for easy viewing, allowing customers to view the excellent workmanship and detailing of each product. Along with the new products, the Site allows its customers clear presentations and relevant information about each product’s availability. Other features include: UPS Shipping and Tracking as well as a Paypal system offering payments to be made with Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.

Pricing

OMB pillows are moderately priced. From the Standard Collection, expect pillows to range from $105 to $199 for a 20”x20” to $250.00 for a 24”x24” sq. pillow. The CustomWorks Gallery offers specialty made-to-order designs, which estimates are given depending on what the customer has in mind.

Gerard Onley’s designs have been featured in the Bay Area’s Designer Showcase; along with numerous publications: California Home and Design, San Francisco Examiner, San Francisco Magazine, and countless Blogs and home decorating websites. Gerard has also worked for several local Bay Area Designers and private clients. Gerard currently resides between San Francisco and Amsterdam.
