DECORIZE CLOSES $1.3 MILLION IN FINANCINGS

--Institutional Investors Increase Ownership--

SPRINGFIELD, MO: February 28, 2002: Decorize, Inc. (OTC BB: DCRZ), an emerging-growth provider of direct sourcing solutions for the global home décor market, announced today that two private placement funds have increased their beneficial ownership of Decorize's common stock. This investment, in combination with a purchase of additional shares by one of the Company's Directors, has raised an aggregate amount of $1.3 million in net proceeds. Decorize received the investment funds from two southwestern institutional private equity funds in private placements of common stock, common stock warrants and convertible notes, and from Fabian Garcia, a Director of Decorize, upon his exercise of outstanding warrants.

Mr. Garcia has been with Decorize since its inception. His extensive retail background experience includes positions as President of Chanel-Asia Pacific, Vice President and General Manager of Max Factor-Japan and Managing Director of Procter & Gamble-Venezuela.

Jon Baker, CEO of Decorize, said, "We believe that our ability to attract institutional investors is directly related to the recent growth in Decorize's sales and earnings."

Proceeds from the transactions will be used to pursue additional acquisitions and to fund current operations.
