LUXURY LINEN: TO SLEEP IN BEAUTIFUL SHEETS

Chapô

Just like fashion, household linen has its haute couture designers. Prestigious Houses adorning the tables of the princes, the bathrooms of the big hotels and the rooms of the stars. Apart from their most refined collections, they offer you a tailor-made service of incredible luxury. Here are three of the biggest brands.

Introduction

Maison D. Porthault: linen as beautiful as paintings

In 1920, Daniel and Madeleine Porthault play a singular score in the world of luxury by creating a “haute couture” linen house. In a world where white is the order of the day, Madeleine breaks the codes by introducing color. Inspired by the great impressionist painters, she creates sets in harmony to seduce great stars.

Marilyn Monroe, Jackie Kennedy, Grace de Monaco and Brigitte Bardot not only become clients, but also inspirers of iconic patterns. Today, D. Porthault is true to its reputation for excellence. For sheets, tablecloths or sponge, the materials used are noble and of impeccable quality. 

The linen is decorated with floral scenes, original graphic patterns and refined embroidery details. The height of luxury, the house offers a tailor-made service. It was in her specialized workshops that delicious heart motifs were created for the Duchess of Windsor. More recently, the Hôtel de Crillon or the Elysée Palace called on this service for original creations. As long as you pay the price, you can experience the extraordinary adventure of a creation that looks like you.

La Maison Frette: linen for kings

Founded in Grenoble in 1860 before moving to Italy, Frette is another specialist in luxury linen. The history of the brand merges with that of the greats of this world. The house has dressed such prestigious sites as the altar in St. Peter's Basilica and the Orient Express.

Description

Today, Maison Frette supplies more than 1,000 luxury hotels and its collections are highly sought after by interior designers to decorate their clients' villas, yachts or airplanes. Specialized artisans make all household linen from the finest fibers.

The brand also offers the "Custom Fret" experience, which is very popular with customers. Here, the monogram is a great tradition. The archives have hundreds of examples of letters, volutes, wreaths and coats of arms. Recently, a Middle Eastern customer ordered tablecloths and napkins with gold embroidery. Any whim and idea is possible, just order.

Maison Noël: more than 13,000 embroideries

The Christmas embroidery patterns are inspired by the inexhaustible archives kept by the house since 1883. More than 13,000 designs, thousands of carefully rolled layers, of all sizes are ready to be used. Some of these decors are waiting to be revisited and updated, others are timeless. Art deco motifs, bunches of grapes, hunting scenes, spider flowers, ears of wheat, oranges and lemons or lilies and thistles, the designs are of exceptional finesse.

In 1992, Adeline Dieudonné took over the reins of the company with the mission of modernizing it. The bet succeeded since Christmas is constantly renewing itself with the creation of new patterns for the collections of sheets, tablecloths, sponges or T-shirts. Recently, we have seen the emergence of nightwear collections and a baby line for birth gifts. Hand-embroidered tablecloths are the centerpieces of the Christmas collections. They are decorated with iconic patterns and meticulously illustrate the art of embroidery. The original designs, reproduced on perforated layers, are stenciled on linen, cotton or organdy before being embroidered by expert hands. This is a true work of an artist. Finally, at Christmas too, it is possible to make your dreams come true.
