Yves Delorme is the place for fuchsia bedding

Yves Delorme has a new line of linens and accessories in both

neutrals and beautiful colors. I especially love the raspberry

background used in The Pagode Bed Linens that are a combination of

chinoiserie and stripes also with ecru and sand. The collection

includes flat and fitted sheets, duvet covers, shams, and a

matelasse. For a complete Pagode look, there are coordinating

accessories that include towels, robes, pillows, throws, linen box,

jewel box and candle in Limoges box. Malines is a new masculine line

that uses paisley in red or gray. Maline has flat and fitted sheets,

duvet covers and shams. Fuchsia is ultra-feminine bedding and

accessories. The linens are made of 310-thread-count sateen with

fuchsia blooms set on white or ecru. There are flat and fitted

sheets, duvet covers, shams and a matelasse. Fuchsia comes with a

matching nightshirt, kimono and robe, and porcelain bath accessories.

My favorites are the neutral linens in white or ecru. Those include

Etoile with half-inch hemstitching; Plaza made of 500-thread-count

Egyptian combed cotton; and Savioe with a 406 thread count, hand

finished French knot embroidery and wide-toothed hemstitching. Yves

Delorme is at South Coast Plaza. Level 2, Crate & Barrel wing. (714)

ONE FOR ALL

At first glance the bold, extra-wide Cartier Tank Divan,

introduced in November, looks like it’s designed for men only, but

the style is for women too. So far the sales have been outstanding;

in fact 492 people across the country are on a waiting list. It’s

available in steel, gold and there’s a diamond version as well. The

Divan has a silver-grained dial with Roman numerals, glaive hands

made of blue steel, steel faceted crown, sapphire cabochon. A steel

Divan has a matte black alligator strap or a shiny black alligator

strap. It sells for $3,900. The 18k yellow gold Divan comes with a

matte chocolate alligator strap or a shiny red alligator strap. It

sells for $8,500. All of Cartier’s designs are timeless and make

great heirlooms. Level 2, at South Coast Plaza. (714) 540-8231.

NICE PLACE TO SIT

Corona del Mar’s Sofas Etc. is a good place to find custom quality

Lauren, Schumacher, Kravet Basics and Robert Allen, or you can bring
