PASADENA, CA —

WxL will bring an Italian flavor to the table this market, with the debut of its table linen line at the Javits Center.

"We've designed these linens for clients who want their entertaining to exude vitality and warmth," said Andrea Loreto, co-owner and ceo. "We hope that each of our creations will set the stage for great conversations and lead to innumerable memories of fine dining among friends."

Handmade in Italy, two collections will bow at the show. Inspired by Flemish and Italian Renaissance painting, the Montebello group features natural scenes in delicate embroidery. Traditional in style, splashes of color give the linens a touch of whimsy.

The 1910 collection is influenced by the simplicity and elegance of the American Arts & Crafts movement.
