Every July, France celebrates Bastille Day, the country's national holiday commemorating the storming of the Bastille in 1789 and the ideals of liberty, equality, and fraternity that followed. Marked by fireworks, parades, and long tables filled with family and friends, the day is a celebration of French culture and pride.
At Garnier Thiebaut USA, that spirit of French heritage is woven into everything we make. Since 1833, our linens have been designed and crafted in the Vosges region of France, carrying forward nearly two centuries of textile artistry. This season, we're celebrating that legacy with a curated collection of table linens and kitchen towels in the colors of the French flag: white, red, and blue. Whether you're hosting a Bastille Day gathering or simply want to bring a touch of French elegance to your table this summer, these pieces offer a beautiful place to start.

From the quiet mountain town of Gérardmer in the Vosges region of France to fine hotels and dining rooms around the world, our linens have long been trusted for their artistry, performance, and timeless design.
