Aiko Luxury Linens selects several European manufacturers who produce quality, elegant custom linens for the American consumer.
Miami, FL (PRWEB) November 16, 2005 -- Aiko Luxury Linens (http://www.italianfinelinens.com) has selected several European manufacturers who produce quality, elegant custom linens for the American consumer.
Luxury linens have provoked genuine passion through the ages and across cultures. At the court of Versailles Queen Marie Leszcynska, wife of Louis XV, owned 50 pairs of sheets, 18 pillowcases, and 16 bedspreads. One hundred years later the recommended trousseau for a young Italian girl of aristocratic descent was "dodici di tutto" -- 12 of everything. A well-stocked linen armoire was a sign of wealth and prestige.
The European textile manufacturers selected by Aiko Luxury Linens produce designs that range from elegant classicism to modern simplicity, and reflect a time when fine craftsmanship was highly valued.
BONJOUR SWITZERLAND: The original textile mill was established near Zurich, Switzerland in 1833, and now produces millions of yards of fabric per year. The selection includes 60 colors for luxury bedding in sateen, jacquard and breathtaking prints that can be mixed and matched. A favorite in the 2005 collection is "Loraine", a striking floral design in hot pink and brilliant blue.
CHRISTIAN FISCHBACHER CUSTOM BEDDING: This company dates from the early 19th century in St. Gallen, Switzerland. It has since become a global player in custom luxury bedding with a reputation for expert tailoring and ultra-modern designs. They hand-paint their original designs inspired by art or nature, and translate them into textile form. The color palette includes 44 vibrant hues in 100% extra long staple Egyptian cotton sateen and embroidered pure linen (PUROLINO) that would convince anyone to get more than 8 hours of sleep.
COTTIMARYANNE FINE LINENS: Embroidery is the world's oldest textile decoration as evidenced by Babylonian and Assyrian sculptures. Cottimaryanne, founded in 1974 by Valerio Cotti and his wife Mariela in the historial center of Florence, Italy continues the tradition of classic embroidered elegance in luxury linens. Cottimaryanne's extensive selection includes a masterpiece of fancy needlework called "Fenicia" that invokes all the romance and mystery of Renaissance Italy.
TIMAS FINE CUSTOM BEDDING: Needlepoint lace was invented in Venice, and was all the rage in European courts until the 19th century. It adorned clothing, sheets, tablecloths and towels. Timas Fine Custom Bedding, located on the Adriatic Coast, produces linens in 400 to 700 thread count Egyptian cotton with inserts of ethereal lace and matching towels and robes as custom orders. The delivery time for these elegant linens is 6 weeks, but for immediate gratification, selected designs are in-stock.
We live in an era of mass production, quick consumption and easy disposabability.
For those individuals who still value quality over quantity Aiko Luxury Linens (http://www.italianfinelinens.com) is pleased to offer items of lasting value and enduring pleasure.
