Savoir-Faire
Textiles have a profound place in our history and present a form of collective human memory as a recording of technical gestures and knowledge that preceded their weaving. Yves Delorme works the with the most skilled artisans in each area that contribute to its creations : engraving, embroidery and weaving. These techniques are transmitted within our specialized studios in Nieppe and Sevelinges, in France, with over 125 expert craftspersons who work diligently to guarantee the quality of each detail, rendering the style and quality that the House affirms.

The House of Yves Delorme opened a new tailoring studio in Spring 2020 in Nieppe in the Hauts-de-France region, thus insuring the French manufacturing of its bed linens. The energy efficient building, well adapted to the most modern work environments, houses all the stages of bed linens production and the 80 employees who are all expert tailors in the luxury industry.

Open to the general public, the place offers “second-choice” products, with slight flaws and without brand labelling, to protect the integrity of the brand. The facility has an important ecological impact on activities by reducing by 6% the volume of textile waste and reducing the studio’s carbon impact related to transport; all while introducing beautiful products manufactured in France to a local market segment.

Weaving Studio in Sevelinges
Yves Delorme maintains an auto-sufficient and ecological weaving studio in the small village of 1500 inhabitants named Sevelinges.
It is in this particular region with a long tradition of textile weaving that, since 1920, the brand has developed cutting-edge industrial tools specialized in toweling and jacquard table linens weaving, all made with the the most noble of fibers.
The studio operates autonomously in order to optimize logistics and to avoid pollution due to excessive transportation while maintaining high ecological standards as well as the excellence of competitive French manufacturing.
Fortified with this precious regional heritage , Yves Delorme aims at further improvements in productivity, innovation and working conditions for the 25 employees that produce 400,000 individual jacquard products annually.
