" on the trail of history..."
BLANC DES VOSGES
Based in Gérardmer since 1843, Blanc des Vosges is a wholly family-owned and
family-run business headed up by 4th generation Jean-François Birac. Blanc des
Vosges manufactures high quality
bedlinen ranges in Gerardmer with the same passion and dedication as their
forefathers did 170 years ago.
The company has always been proud not only to perpetuate Tradition through a product 100% made in France but also proud to promote Modernity through collections which are on-trend each season. Each Blanc des Vosges design is the result of demanding standards in terms of service, creativity and exceptional know-how.
100% MADE IN FRANCE
Blanc des Vosges bed linens are wholly manufactured in the Vosges. Thanks
to their expertise and rare know-how, our seamstresses and machinists bring
life to the bed linen products they manufacture. In particular they are able to
offer hand-made finishes : ladder stitch, picot and double or single embroidery
overstitching, piping, applied ribbons and braids. Bed linen is not, however,
just about the finish. Firstly products have to be cut with great precision and
then assembled. They have to be run through quality control, ironed, folded and
packaged too.
MAKING AN IMPACT
The Blanc des
Vosges style is unique in the world of home
linens.
Stylists employed exclusively for Blanc des Vosges work tirelessly to bring
visually strong and creative designs to market.
- Colour harmonies tell a story,
linking a design to an era, to a trend or to a place. Blanc des Vosges seeks perfection, layering tones, intesifying
and creating colour combinations to bring depth and poetry to a theme. Recognised
for its mastery of colour, the
Blanc des Vosges style is also renowned for its simplicity and contemporary,
urban edge.
-
The brand
launches 2 completely new collections
every year.
In addition to a permanent range of plains offering a choice of over 50 colours in various different qualities, Blanc des Vosges launches over 30 new designs a year.
The creative process of renewal is also ensured through various different partnerships. It is in this context that the famous British brand Sanderson and Princesse Tania de Bourbon Parme have been working with Blanc des Vosges for a number of years.
