Papillon Linens

While admiring and gushing over the Opal Petit Clothier blog from Tammi Swanson (that I wrote about yesterday) I fell in love with Tammi’s daughter Mia’s room.  It is gorgeous, romantic, a throw back to a simpler time, just jump over and take a peek at Snowball her sweet bunny. 

Not only do I love the room and the bunny and the pram but I also fell in love with the bedding… it is covered in ruffles and so lush looking.   While reading the post I found out that the bedding is made by Leigh Chandler from Papillon Linens and quickly flew over to find out more information. 

 

The following is the press release about her company from her website:

In 1993, Leigh Chandler decided to turn her lifelong love of textiles into a business. She had a particular love for the beautiful, casually elegant bedding of Europe. She flew to France, where she convinced bedding designers and companies to export to the United States. She then started selling retail from a French antique store in Atlanta. She quickly realized that there was such an appreciative market for her products but that importing from France was cost prohibitive.  She knew she could produce for the American market with American sizes and be better off producing her own designs in India. In 1994 she started her own wholesale business and named it; “The Chandler Collection”.

She sold her thriving company in 2000 and stayed on until 2005, at which point she decided to get back to her true love – working with 100% linen in the old European styles.  Now based in Las Vegas, NV and with a fully stocked warehouse in Costa Mesa, CA, she has the good fortune of having a great team and a fabulous line that has had exceptional success with premium retailers and specialty boutiques around the country.

The company Papillon Linens creates products of enduring versatility, charm and beauty.  With the classic padded satin stitch embroidery of Old Europe these finely crafted treasures will last for years to come and complement any interior.  She is also excited to debut her newest collection Bébé Papillon, as a very classic full crib line with the same elegance of the Papillon Linens.   

Leigh Chandler has had her products featured in many magazines over the years such as Accessory Merch, Atlanta Homes, Better Homes Bedroom & Bath, Better Homes & Gardens, Bon Appetite, Bridal Guide, Coastal Living, Cottage Living, Country Living, Country Home, Country Living Gardener, Country Living Holidays, Domino, Elle Décor, Good Housekeeping, HFN, Home Accents Today, Home Companion, Home Décor, Home Textiles, House Beautiful, In Furniture, In Style, LDB, Lucky, Modern Bride, Romantic Homes, San Diego Home & Garden, Southern Accents, Style, The Cincinnati Enquirer, The New York Times, Town & Country, Veranda, Victoria, Woman's Day and many more...

To view more of her creations just visit her blog or website.

I yearn for some bedding like this… one day.

 

Happy Friday!
