Alexandre Turpault of France applies a fresh approach to 100% linen table and bed linens.
United States of America (Press Release) September 30, 2007 --
Alexandre Turpault applies a contemporary sensibility to domestic table and luxury bed linens by producing deep, rich colors in 100% linen.
Prized for their beauty and strength, 100% fine linen fabrics (manufactured from the flax plant) have provided elegance and comfort for generations. Although first harvested in Mesopotamia, it was the Egyptians who developed the flax fiber to produce a very fine fabric known as ‘lawn’. The pharaohs’ flax was considered superior to anything grown in Western Europe.
However, by the twelfth century linen cultivation was firmly established in France. It was around this time that wealthy nobles accumulated fine linen and launched the history of the trousseaux. For several hundred years a well- stocked linen closet was a sign of wealth and connoisseurship.
Alexandre Turpault founded his textile company in Cholet, France in 1847. He was recognized as a major player in the luxury market and won awards for textile at the 1878 and 1889 Exposition Universelle in Paris. In the 1930s he supplied elegant damask table linens for the legendary steamship ‘Normandy’.
In the 21st century, Alexandre Turpault continues in the tradition of fine luxury linens by manufacturing sleek, elegant designs in rich hues that remain stable despite repeated washing. Although well-known and highly respected in France, Alexandre Turpault is not yet a household name in the US. Aiko Luxury Linens in Miami, Florida (online at http://www.italianfinelinens.com) means to change that by introducing the brand to the sophisticated consumer.
Table linens (tablecloths, napkins, placemats, runners) are available in 24 colors that include anthracite, rosewood, aubergine, terracotta, nutmeg, carmine, and of course, classic white and ivory. Both standard and custom sizes are available.
An even finer linen fabric can be found in Alexandre Turpault’s luxury bedding collections that include Cythere (solid colors with classic hemstitch), Cybele (solid colors with contrasting border), and Keops, and elegant white linen with Venetian lace open borders. Also included in the contemporary bedding collections are cotton-linen mix and 100% Egyptian cotton sateen fabrics.
There is nothing like a bold splash of color to invigorate a minimalist décor. For those individuals who seek a classic, contemporary elegance they would do well to consider Alexandre Turpault for uniquely beautiful table and luxury bed linens.
