Starting May 5th, Noir will apply a TEMPORARY 12% surcharge to all orders during this tariff situation. Noir is closely monitoring all tariffs that apply to them and will immediately make appropriate adjustments to the surcharge.

Thank you for your support.

Dear valued customer,
 
We wanted to follow up with an important update regarding the recent tariff changes and how they may affect our pricing. As part of our ongoing response to the evolving trade environment, we will implement a price adjustment on June 9, 2025.
 
As mentioned in our previous communication, the U.S. government introduced a new round of “reciprocal” tariffs on April 2, which officially went into effect on April 5. These tariffs, in addition to those implemented back in March, have impacted much of the global import landscape.
 
We are actively working to mitigate the impact of these changes by absorbing a portion of the additional costs and adjusting our production strategies.  However, some price adjustments are necessary. Updated pricing details will be available after May 9, 2025. For your convenience, digital versions of these resources will be accessible on our website at:
 
www.TopKnobs.com
www.AtlasHomewares.com
 
We recognize this is a dynamic situation, and tariff rates may continue to fluctuate. If rates decrease or are lifted in countries where our products are manufactured, we will revise our pricing to reflect those changes. Likewise, if additional increases occur, we will respond accordingly and keep you informed every step of the way.
 
Should you require further information or have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your local sales representative or our dedicated customer service team at CustomerService@TopKnobs.com.
 
We truly appreciate your continued support and partnership as we navigate these changes together.
 
Warm regards,
Greg Gottlieb, CEO

Dear Texture Customer,
 

As many of you are aware, the recent introduction of tariffs on all imported products entering the U.S. has raised concerns about pricing. To clarify, all imports into the US have been subject to a minimum 10% tariff surcharge since April 5, 2025. Tariffs are determined by the country of origin and are paid by the importer. #@#_WA_-_CURSOR_-_POINT_#@# The vast majority of our products originate from Europe, India and Turkey. Products from China consist of a minimal percentage (~6%) of our product offering.   

Given the volatile nature of ongoing tariff policies, we have chosen not to adjust any pricing at this time. Instead, we will introduce a temporary "Tariff Surcharge” line item on our orders, similar to how we handle a charge for freight. This approach allows us to remain flexible and adjust or remove the surcharge as trade policies evolve.
The following Tariff Surcharges will be implemented May 1, 2025:

• Tier 1: 5% Tariff Surcharge on all products originating from all countries except China.
• Tier 2: 35% Tariff Surcharge on all products originating from China. While the current tariff from China stands at 145%, Texture has chosen to share some of this cost temporarily.

  **A list of items subject to  35%  tariff surcharge are available to view here.**
 
On all orders either in house or received by April 30th, there will be no tariff surcharge. We believe this is a fair approach and hope this will allow you sufficient time to prepare and share this update with your customers.

We greatly value your business and want to reassure you that we are here to support you and are always available to answer your questions. 

Dear Client, At Romo we believe communication is key in building strong and lasting client relationships, particularly when external circumstances affect our operations.  As many of you are aware, the recent introduction of tariffs on all foreign products entering the U.S. has raised some concerns about pricing. We want to share how Romo is addressing this development and what it means for you. To clarify, all imports into the US have been subject to a minimum 10% tariff surcharge since April 5, 2025. Tariffs are determined by the country of origin of an individual product, not by our status as a British company. The vast majority of our products originate from mainland Europe, earmarked for a 20% tariff surcharge initially, but currently paused for 90 days. Given the volatile nature of these tariff policies, we have chosen not to adjust any pricing at this time. Instead, we will introduce a 5% “Tariff Surcharge” based on the total value of the order, which will show as a single line item, similar to how we handle a charge for freight. This approach allows us to remain flexible and adjust or remove the surcharge as policies evolve.  This surcharge of 5% will go into effect on Monday, April 28. All existing orders, reserves and CFA’s placed prior to April 28, will be honored without adding the surcharge. We believe this is a fair approach and hope this will allow you sufficient time to prepare and share this update with your clients. If global tariff percentages prove to be much higher from certain countries to another, we may need to implement a different structure moving forward.  We greatly value your business and want to reassure you that this measure in no way diminishes our ongoing commitment to delivering the highest level of service.    Warm regards,

Frederic Henry CEO, Romo Inc.

Dear Kasmir Customer,

We want to thank you for your continued support and partnership. As you are aware, there have been announcements of tariff changes by the US Government that will impact everyone in our industry.

Tariffs directly and immediately impact the cost of goods being imported including finished goods and raw materials. It is highly likely that tariffs will drive cost increases across all categories of fabrics and supplies.

We are committed to our partnership with you, and it is our goal to keep our costs as low as possible.

Please refer to our website www.kasmirfabricsonline.com for our new pricelist that will be effective April 28, 2025.

We want to thank you again for your loyalty to Kasmir Fabrics.

Dear Jill,

We truly value the trust and partnership we’ve built with you over the years, and we always strive to be transparent and fair in everything we do. As you may know, the U.S. government imposed tariffs on imported goods, which directly affect many of the components  we use in our products. We’ve held off on making any changes, hoping these tariffs might be removed or revised—but unfortunately, we can’t wait any longer. Beginning today, Monday April 21, 2025, a 12.5% tariff surcharge will be applied to all orders. This adjustment is necessary in order for us to continue providing the quality, service, and custom craftsmanship you’ve come to expect from us. If you’ve already received a quote and have any questions about how this may affect your project, please don’t hesitate to give us a call. We’re happy to walk through the details with you. As always, we’re grateful for your continued support and understanding—and we remain committed to helping you deliver beautiful results on every job. Warm regards, Alex Ang AngBéjar Drapery Hardware

Dear Valued Customer, As you are well aware, the volatility in the tariff landscape has increased dramatically in the past few weeks. While an incredibly high, broad array of tariffs have been announced, paused and adjusted, our teams have worked tirelessly with our global manufacturing partners in efforts to smooth out the impact as much as possible. We are continuing to take a surgical approach by negotiating prices on a partner-by-partner basis while keeping our inventory position healthy to minimize the impact to you and your customers. That said, there are limitations to what we can accomplish behind the scenes with tariffs of this magnitude. In response to the recent 10% tariff on most countries effective April 9, and additional rounds of tariffs on China currently totaling over 170%, we anticipate the need to institute a price adjustment on impacted goods in early May. Tomorrow, we are launching our new introductions for the Spring season and High Point Market begins this week. With these two events ahead, we have decided that we will not implement price adjustments for current active products until early May. Prices listed for new Spring introductions will reflect the price adjustments when they launch tomorrow. We hope these decisions will help you shop and prepare for High Point with reassurance. We do not want to declare a specific date on adjustments while active trade negotiation efforts are in the works. We are remaining optimistic that these negotiations will help decrease the proposed tariff impact in the weeks and months to come. As always, when adjustments are made, we will also reduce prices accordingly if tariffs are eased. We understand that the details and timing of these changes may impact your business significantly. In the spirit of clear, timely communication, we will continue to provide further updates via the FAQ page on our website. Please regularly consult this page for the most current information as the situation evolves. Four Hands has built a strong, diversified supply chain spanning 80+ manufacturing partners in 12 countries, including the United States. This strategic approach allows us to maintain flexibility in product development and minimize potential disruptions. While no one knows where the tariff landscape will ultimately land in the long term, we are confident in our ability to effectively navigate these choppy waters in the near term together as your partner. Thank you for your continued partnership, Chief Revenue Officer Michael Bullock
