History
Since its foundation in 1845 by Ernestine Fremaux,
The luxury linens House of Yves Delorme unites Poetry, Audacity, Excellence and Savoir-Faire; constantly renewed by its creativity, for a vibrant and sustainable craftmanship. This particular alchemy has driven its international influence and its capacity to create, to delight and to progress. The act of weaving has a profound position in our collective memory and is a gesture of negotiating with and connecting to Mother Nature; a nature that we celebrate in the creative momentum of the famous imaginary garden of The House.
Located in the Hauts-de-France region, between the strength of the lion of Flanders and the gentleness of the emblematic swan,
Yves Delorme invites you to experience and follow your dreams.
