A Visit to Monogramming Mecca: Leontine Linens

 





I'm falling more in love with New Orleans by the day, it's such a magical city filled with incredibly creative and talented people. It's no wonder that luxury linen purveyor, Leontine Linens, calls this city home. Earlier this week I popped into their Magazine St. store to see in person what I've been drooling over online for years. If it's even conceivable, everything is even more beautiful in person! Of course I couldn't walk away empty handed so I took a seat in that gorgeous monogrammed chair and got to designing my own little treat. Brooke, the employee that helped me through the process, could not have been sweeter and more patient with me as I agonized over color choices (are you surprised ha!) My order is off to Kentucky where it will be hand drawn and then sewn- a lost art! I can hardly wait for it to arrive on my doorstep and will be sure to share when it comes. 

P.S How perfect would the monogrammed jewelry rounds be for bridesmaids? Such a classic and personal gift.
