Loretta Caponi's Yacht Towels

Filed under: Decor

The April issue of W has a piece on Loretta Caponi, the 82-year-old designer who sells beautifully embroidered towels and tableware as well as children's clothing and lingerie from her elegant shop in Florence, Italy. The company has made silk gowns and pajamas for some of the most celebrated people in the world including royalty, both the crowned and the Hollywood kind. The children's line consists of the type of delicate garments that are handed down generation to generation. My favorite pieces however are the boat accessories like this colorful set of towels.

Frette Sophia Collection

Filed under: Decor

Luxury sheet maker Frette's new Sophia line is a holiday fantasy. The years designer duvet set also comes with the chance to outfit yourself in luxury as well with a red velvet robe and a pair of slippers. The Sophia line was inspired by ancient brocades and damasks used by royal dynasties across Europe. Garnet-colored silk is interwoven with natural linen to create a surprisingly modern jacquard. The duvet set includes a cover and two rectangular shams in an ornate pattern and two striped square shams and boudoirs. The line takes its name from Queen Sophia of Bourbon, the last queen of a Spanish dynasty to rule on Italian soil. Each robe comes with a 24-carat gold numbered plaque for the engraved name or initials of the owner.

Sahelia Bedding

Filed under: Decor

We tend to look for Egyptian cotton for our bedding without really considering the connection to Africa. Sahelia is a new luxury linen line that incorporates elements of African design. Sahelia's founder, Fatim Thiam, was born and raised in West Africa, and educated in France, Canada, and the United States. Each of the nine collections is named after an African city and uses rich colors and designs. The sheets are made in Italy of Eyptian cotton. The sheets shown here are from the Ife collection and prices start at $234 for a Queen fitted sheet.

Sears Adds A Touch of Luxury

Filed under: Decor

Luxury items at Sears? We've seen luxury come to Costco and Wal-Mart and now Sears is trying to tempt buyers with items that skew toward the higher end. Because Kmart and Sears merged, Sears has the right to sell Martha Stewart goods in Sears Roebuck stores but they aren't taking that option since Martha recently announced to that she will be selling her higher-end wares at Macy's. Instead Sears has a new strategy to sell ready-to-assemble furniture, add more Lands' End mini-stores inside Sear's stores and create a private label line of bed and bath products called Everyday Luxe. The Everyday Luxe line is already for sale on the internet and features 400-thread-count duvets and 500-thread-count sheets. Sheet sets start at $99.99 for Queen.

Spring Bedding from John Robshaw

Filed under: Decor

The spring collection from John Robshaw, one of my favorite fabric designers is out, and if you're looking for lightweight pillows and bedding, you can't do better than his stuff. With an Indian-Asia-boho feel, his designs are simply lovely. His web site is pretty sparse, but does list retailers. Online sites like Nochalant Mom and ShopatGood also carry his line. 

Leather clad bed

Filed under: Decor

The Hide and Seek bed by And So To Bed is an elegant sleeping platform. It has the understated form of a sleigh bed without the lavish bends. Leather covers its gentle curves and gives it an aged, cultured look that adds a elegant decor to any bedroom with dark or rust-toned walls. If there was ever a bed designed to reside in a cigar room, this would be it. This modern twist to a traditional style bed will cost you about $4,350.

Sin in Linen Sheet Sets

Filed under: Decor

If perhaps last week's high-thread-count sheets for Valentine's Day were a bit tame for you, check out the racy designs of Sin in Linen. The company is the brainchild of Sandy Glaze whose quest for peppy sheets led her to start her own company. The sheets and pillows feature imaginative designs that take their cues from vintage designs. There is the VIce bedset which celebrates tattoos, gambling and other decadence in bright red and black. The design shown here, Joie de Viv, features a retro pin-up girl and is100% cotton sateen with a 230-thread count. The King set sells for $104.

1020 Thread Count Sheets

Filed under: Decor

Sheets for Valentine's Day? It's a gift that is both subte and just a bit naughty. You don't need to go the red satin route though. These 1020 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets are slightly oversized and are able to accomodate up to a 20" mattress. They come in eight colors from sand to espresso. No flaming red but at least you won't slide across the room. The California King set is on sale for  $1299.90 (down from $1,800).
