Frette previewed the Limited Edition bedding it will launch in 2010 to celebrate its 150th anniversary.

The collection offers three components: a duvet set, a bed set and a white mink throw dipped in gold. The sets are each limited to 500 editions, with the edition number embroidered into a piece of the set.

The duvet set includes a cover, two square shams and two square dec pillows made of 55% mako cotton and 45% two-color silk yarns that create golden pink refractions. The yarn-dyed jacquard set will retail for $4,500.

The bed set includes an upper sheet of solid ivory sateen with a yarn-dyed jacquard border, a bottom sheet and two rectangular shams. It will retail from $1,595 to $1,695.

The Aurea throw is a white mink covered in 18-karat gold using a patented technique that gives the throw a shimmer. Backed in a blend of cashmere and silk, the throw will retail for $28,000. Frette will also offer a mink pillow cushion for $4,500.

The luxury lifestyle brand also previewed its 2009 Holiday Collection, which in home includes linen placements, cocktail and dinner napkins with lacquer rings, cashmere knit cushions, merino cashmere throws, a set of demitasse glasses and spoons, collectible boxes and snakeskin picture frames.

The full Holiday Collection also features apparel accessories for outdoors and indoors, travel accessories such as calfskin travel slippers, candles, soaps and G. Lorenzi accessories, including a cashmere brush for sweaters.
