Yves Delorme

Yves Delorme is a part of the family owned French company Fremaux-Delorme, which maintains its corporate offices in the Palais Royal in Paris. Fremaux has produced fine linens since 1845 - making it one of the longest continually operating textile manufactures in France. The company draws its strength and skill from more than 150 years of proud tradition, first as a manufacturer and now also as a worldwide distributor of fashionable bed linen collections for the home.

Woven of natural fibres in the finest European tradition, the Yves Delorme collection is distinguished by the uncompromising quality and meticulous attention to detail that is the heritage of French couture. Soft hues and elegant florals and prints define this luxurious line, and its Evelyne Julienne - their exclusive designer since the line was launched in 1989 - who does the defining, creating fresh new looks season after season. In keeping with their fashion-forward approach, Yves Delormes presents a large collection every spring, and introduces several additional patterns in the autumn. All of these must be worked out in various palettes, with an eye to international taste.
