when I think of linen I think of Provence. We use linen for our curtains, our upholstery and slipcovers, draped over beds, tables, anywhere and everywhere we can. For those of you who experience linen lust as I do, I thought I’d share a few of my favorite European linen lines. Today it’s De Le Cuona.
De Le Cuona is a UK firm, known for it’s extensive range, luxurious softness and in their own words, floppy hand. The weight and drape of their fabrics is sublime. They also produce a collection of paisley’s inspired by antique Kashmir designs. The color ways and weaves are absolutely incredible. I can’t say enough about these fabrics. You’ll find their distribution network on their website or you can visit Provence and I’ll introduce you to my friend Catherine who represents the collection in our area and you can experience their splendor firsthand.

My tapissier (upholsterer) just delivered this 18th century armchair which I had re-upholstered in De Le Cuona chevron linen. It has a fantastic slubby texture and a mat finish, and I think it plays well with the sober rustic style of the chair. What do you think?
Susan,
Wonderful linens you showed here!
Susan about your question about the drapery fabric on my latest post, I am not sure anymore but I think it is a fabric from ZOFFANY.
I will check it and if I’ll find it, I will let you know.

Hello again Susan, i have been away from the Blog for a little while trying to adjust but enjoyed catching up very much. I also love Linen and can never get enough of it so desperately looking forward to our visit to your part of France in around 10 days, can’t wait.I’m staying with my two children 21 and 13 in Loumarin before meeting up with my parents in their house so will enjoy looking around the market there on the Friday (27th May), be great to bump into you!
