QVC

Home décor meets Hollywood. Best known as a multi-talented actress who has graced both the silver screen and Broadway stage, Catherine Zeta-Jones’s passion for design was inspired by her childhood in Wales alongside her seamstress mother and a lifetime of travels. Now, she is bringing her creative vision to life with Casa Zeta-Jones, a signature home collection scheduled to debut on QVC Thursday, Sept. 28 at 10 AM and 10 PM.

“We have been truly impressed not only by Catherine’s luxurious design aesthetic, but her keen eye for detail as well,” said Doug Howe, Executive Vice President of Merchandising for QVC. “Her dedication to perfection is evident in even the smallest details of each item, and we are confident our customers will be both enthralled by her collection and amazed at the ease with which it transforms the home.”

Influenced by her Welsh heritage and the elegance of old Hollywood, Casa Zeta-Jones perfectly blends luxury and opulence with functionality and versatility. This initial launch features an assortment of items, including bedding, bath towels, table linens, and rugs, designed to complement any style and space.
