WOODLAND HILLS, CA —

Manuel Canovas, the noted French decorative fabric firm, has launched its first bed and bath collection.

The collection is being produced under license to Vanderschooten (VDS Group) of Nieppe, France. It is being distributed in the United States by Voila Home — L'Ambience Trading Co.

The premier collection includes seven designs embracing two themes: a floral inspiration that is very feminine, and an ethnic derived, but contemporary, mood. French cotton percale in 200-count, and 280-count cotton sateen is used for the sheets. The collection is printed by Mascioni in Italy.

The assortment also includes quilted covers and pillow shams in a check and stripe design in yarn-dyed cotton.

All fitted sheets have 17-inch-deep pockets; shams and top sheets are finished with high-quality sateen cording; and all European shams have the Manuel Canovas signature.

Seven luxury bath towels have also been introduced, with both the terry and velvet made from Egyptian cotton.

Prices range from $47 to $66 cost for a twin flat sheet.
