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/
posted April 13th, just put Arte Pura in the search box.

  7. I am loving that Ciottolo spread! Glad to hear the Europeans have given up ironing their linens...I never iron mine whether bed or table linens... I spritz them with a fine mist of water. Leaves them with a friendlier texture.

  9. Oh hello there Maryanne..

    What a beautiful collection of linens.. I may never want to get out of bed again. And I love the fact that linens are so much more relaxed these days.. ironing sheets is so impractical.

    Thank you so much for your wonderful comment today and for being my 200th follower. I can see why you enjoyed the post. Looking forward to sharing more design inspiration...

  18. MaryAnne my friend, you are going to be busy! Busy selling like crazy! I agree with Linda (In the Coconut) - the PJ's should be worn out of the house. I can easily see that everything is top quality. Bravissimo!
