Arte Pura! Wear Your Jammies Out!

One thing is for sure, you will never be dissappointed with the artistic presentation of the Arte Pura Italian Linens at Maison et Object in Paris. I fell in love with this mannequin. It has passementerie on the top, plaster is applied on the body over fabric, then the bottom is wrapped with an organza like fabric with Italian writing on it no less.

This is the Carte Colore or Color Card with all the choices you have for Bedding, Tabletop, Bath and THESE!!!!!!!!

Hello. Did I mention they make incredible Dreamwear????????? Well they do. Look at the buttons and the lace on this. This is the Baleari in the Polevere Old ( a light beige with a hint of pink) the collar is ruched, too.

We bought pajamas by mistake the first time we bought the line.... Robes wanted a linen shirt...Well, not speaking any Italian, we ordered Pajamas Completo by mistake and got a pajama ensemble the top of which is shown below.

Here in one of their two new colors,( it looks like light butterscotch...)is the top of the Maddelena pajamas. And the first Arte Pura we ever sold in this very home design oriented shop was, you guessed it, PAJAMAS COMPLETO!!!! One customer got four of these in four different colors and mixes it all up.... She bought a Lava Grey one and wore to the opening of the Santa Fe Opera!!!!!!!Adorned herself with Silver jewelry.......How cool is that???

It seems no one is wearing these to bed. The tulle lace on the bottom is a trim choice also on the bedding, bath, and tabletop. This is the other new color it looks like peach ice cream. The piece is Mykonos. The ruched sleeves have cashmere.....

Here is the Maldive.... Bell sleeves with the cornely roses. I can see this with capri length leggings, or just the bottom of the Maddelena pajama set. Yawn, I think I'll put this one on and just sit around......

And watch my tulle wrapped candles flicker in the dark......

Arte Pura is here in the US NOW!!!! We have it exclusively...

Well, the gorgeous Italian Linens we have been waiting for have arrived at Beadboard.

Arte Pura de Fianco al Paridiso, (meaning pure art next to heaven) sure feels like it is, and more. Arte Pura is the first Italian linen bedding we actually imported ourselves, so it is EXCLUSIVELY AT BEADBOARD UPCOUNTRY. Yes, the little shop in the country is the first in the country to bring in what designers have been traveling to Europe to procure for their clients.

This is their new bedspread, Ciottolo. Italian Linen that has a hand like butter with wonderful texture, and a surprise. It arrives packed in its own linen overnite carry bag with an organza patch and embroiderd logo on the side. It appeals to the younger set because the relaxed volante or ruffle can tuck into a platform bed. On a vintage bed it casually hangs over a bedskirt or by itself as a soft border.


Swarovski crystal accent pillows lasered on so they are fused into the fabric....





Look at the texture of this ..Ok all you wrinklephopic beings......This is the answer. And here's the truth. In Europe they are not ironing their linen. AND NEITHER IS THEIR HELP!
They enjoy it for what is, wrinkled elegance (as Robes says.) Oh and you'll never catch him ironing linen.


Colors that are all mottled, pre washed, gorgeous. Something for everyone. Also available in a wide array of fabulous tablelinens.........Robes actually made this clothline with some little clothespins we got in France.....I think he did a pretty good job!! Each piece has a vellum tag and a piece of organza also embroidered with the logo, the detail and presentation are suberb.



Double flanges and ties on all four sides.



16" Federa con stampa pillow with generous double layer ruffle.


I am not one for bathroom accroutrements. I think most are contrived, but I love this. Made from the same terrycloth as the coordinating towels, a tissue box cover with Swarovski crystal. There's also one without crystal but with a big linen bow like the pillow below.
This BELONGS in the bathroom don't you think?


How cute is this??????


Did I mention pajamas? They offer linen shirts too, so we thought we were ordering them but ordered pajamas completo. (2 pajama sets.) Robes thought he was getting a shirt :(. No robes for Robes this time but we are already taking orders for our accidental pj's in several colors.....
And learning Italian.... Arrivaderci? Maybe not.....For a recent commentary on the line go to http://www.justluxe.com/
