SUMMER FUN 2011

Drape Kings Annual Summer Event took place last Saturday. We shared the day with nearly 50 employees, family members and friends rafting down the beautiful Delaware River in Pike County Pennsylvania.river rafting2 150x150 SUMMER FUN 2011

The scenic trip started at our NJ location with a bus ride to the Kittatinny Canoes in Matamoras, PA. We continued up river to the launch, and then enjoyed a 3 hour raft trip down river with a gourmet lunch, many drinks, and many choices of ice cream upon everyone’s return.

And to top it off, while on the river, our emergency line took a call for a client who needed drape the next morning. So in between sending the boats downstream and awaiting their return, our 24 hour hot line took the call and our stand-by Production Manager sent off a quote. She booked the job helping out a very grateful client who received the last minute request to make Roseland Ballroom beautiful from none other than Beyonce!!OB PD905 beyonc E 201108151205111 150x150 SUMMER FUN 2011

So there you go. Taking care of business while taking care of our employees!! That’s just how we roll.

Dora the Explorer’s 10th Anniversary Backpack Launch

Over the years, Drape Kings has accomplished many feats other companies cannot, but on August 10th, we completed a task that even impressed us.

We provided pipe and drape for Macy’s Herald Square’s gigantic celebration of Nickelodeon character Dora the Explorer’s 10th anniversary. In honor of the show’s longetivy, many celebrities designed their own Dora backpacks for exhibition at the event.

Now, due to the intense timing of the event, we had to remove all 550 feet of our drape in less than an hour, so the store could go back to its regular customer schedule. No problem for the Kings! Our guys were able to get all of the pipe and drape off display, into our hampers, and out of the store within an hour. Talk about fast!

You can see our Bleached White Muslin drape in action in the video below:

Mark Ecko Cut and Sew at Milk Studios

In preparation for Fashion Week, designer Mark Ecko held a party at Milk Studios celebrating his 2011 Cut and Sew line, which will feature an ad campaign starring Lindsay Lohan.

We provided over 150 feet of Bleached White Muslin which lined both the displays and the afterparty.
