Overview
- Media profiles published this week spotlight a long-running partnership in which New York-based, family-owned Richloom has supplied custom pillows, drapery, blackouts, bedskirts and upholstery for Disney for more than two decades.
- Reporters and Disney sources show recent Richloom work installed at The Cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort, all three Hotels of the Disneyland Resort, Disney Cruise Line’s Wish-class ships and Animal Kingdom Villas – Kidani Village.
- Designers at Richloom collaborate closely with Walt Disney Imagineering to match colors, textures and prints to each project and to hide small motifs such as “hidden Mickeys” inside fabric patterns to reinforce storytelling.
- Company history framed in the pieces traces Richloom to founder Fred Richman in 1957 and describes the firm as a third-generation family business led by Michael Saivetz/Saivetz and other family members.
- Disney used the profiles to place Richloom in its wider economic story, citing the company’s work as an example of how thousands of small and family-owned suppliers across the U.S. support Disney’s destinations.
