Yves Delorme and the Monogrammed Linen Shop Review

February 10, 2014 by manjirichitnis 31 Comments

It was on a cold but sunny winter morning that I arrived in the pretty  MLS (Monogrammed Linen Shop) in the beautiful South Kensington area of London.

Occasion – I was to be ”introduced” to Yves Delorme Tea Towels and the new Spring Summer 2014 Collection at the beautiful  MLS store in London.

When I received the invitation for the store visit on email I fell in love with this pretty tea towel, who wouldn’t with an embroidered cupcake ummm

But when I saw the entire collection at the store I wanted all of them especially the one with crustacean and the macaroons, I was even spoilt with macaroons from Pierre  Herme’ of the very same colour!

The quaint little store has a very pretty and well-maintained garden and an ideal place to click some more photos of these beautiful embroidered beauties, I want them all! This set of six cocktail napkins is aptly called Happy Hour :). An ideal gift idea for Valentines I’d Say!

Back inside thanks to a sudden chill , I needed some more hot tea to warm my insides and ummm macaroons :).

The pretty little book in the photo below is called the Cooking Note Book – perfect for foodies like me!

I would like all my jam bottles to have these  Jam Pot Covers.

Moving over to the other sections , I was quite besotted by these travel bags from which can be monogrammed with your initials, so very perfect for luxury travel , am thinking a long cruise …sighhh…

The Triomphe Pierre Alpaca Throws in pretty colours so very soft to the touch, would make an absolutely wonderful gift for someone you love, don’t you think? So good in the winters.

Pristine white linen of the best quality and monogramming (standard and bespoke) and embroidery are a specialty.By adding a monogram to your linens, you instantly give them a very personal touch, which will give a quiet refinement to the feel of your room, bathroom or dining room. Your gifts once monogrammed will be perceived as a much more thoughtful gesture and will mean a lot more to all the lucky recipients!Smartly Tailored beautiful French Furnishings – how very apt for  wedding and christening presents!

Besotted , doesn’t end here there loads more to look at if you are looking at doing up your home, special gifting ideas for Valentines,weddings, christenings or just as a treat for someone you love.

Will leave you with a beautiful photo of the beach towel range – in anticipation of sunnier climate – soon I hope.

    I have Yves Delorme duvet cover that I bought just after university and almost 20 years later it is only just starting to show any signs of wear having been through the washer every other week. Amazing quality.
