These Chic Textiles Add A Bit Of Charm To The Table Year Round
It’s been six years since New York-based E. Braun & Co. acquired the Dea locale on Palm Beach’s Worth Avenue, so the linen storefront decided it was time to officially change its name. Now operating as E. Braun Palm Beach, the 131-year-old retailer’s second location still maintains a focus on Dea’s Italian offerings while supplementing with additional bed and bath brands as well as related accessories and gifts.
This season, owners Stephanie and Ric Barbatelli plan to announce new sheet collections, cashmere throws and in-store events—plus advise clients on tabletop options for December entertaining. “We tend to favor subtle designs for the holidays in motifs that can be used for more than just festive occasions—colors such as gold and silver with white,” Stephanie recommends. Their top tip? Don’t delay. “Tablecloths have to be special ordered, so plan early,” Ric urges. “We have a wonderful collection of napkins, cocktail napkins and guest towels that would be great for the holidays.”
