Dear Rowe Partner,
We are contacting you as one of our valued partners to share some important updates related to the ever-changing global trade landscape.
As you may know, recent changes to global trade policies and increased tariffs have introduced new pressures on the worldwide supply chain. Like many in our industry, we face increased costs, particularly concerning imported materials. While we have worked diligently to protect our customers from volatility, the extent of our globally sourced fabric collection and specialized non-fabric components essential to our designs is now significantly affected.
Effective June 3, 2025, Rowe will implement a 5% price adjustment. This adjustment will apply to inline goods and will not affect any new products introduced at the upcoming April 2025 High Point market. This adjustment is necessary to maintain the broad range of high-quality options you’ve come to expect from us. This approach also allows us to avoid making mass grade changes to our fabric assortment while the message surrounding these trade tariffs continues to unfold.
Please understand that this decision was not made lightly. Our team is actively collaborating with our vendor partners to explore every viable solution, whether transitioning to new countries of origin, identifying suitable fabric alternatives, or re-sourcing high-impact components. At the same time, we remain committed to our employees and domestic production: every piece is framed, sewn, and upholstered in the USA. Supporting our talented workforce is at the heart of who we are, especially as inflation continues to affect most aspects of everyday life.
We are closely monitoring the tariff landscape. Should updates or reversals to the current tariff structure occur before June 3rd, 2025, we will recalibrate our pricing structure accordingly and promptly communicate any changes with you. We sincerely value your partnership and understand that changes like these can be challenging. As we move forward, we will do everything possible to minimize disruption to your business and help you navigate this transition smoothly. Your continued trust and support of Rowe’s domestic production are invaluable.
If you have any questions or want to discuss options for your upcoming orders, please don’t hesitate to let us know. We are here to help.
Best Regards,
Chris Miller
Senior Vice President of Sales
