Bienvenue La Cerise sur le Gâteau

If there was ever a way for rustic French designs, to meet bold and exciting new prints, Anne has wiped them all, with her own brand La Cerise sur le Gâteau, or for us, ‘The Cherry on the Cake’.

From studying it, to making it, Anne loves design, she even wrote a book on it. And she has put her own, creative stamp on this latest range. They are classic French linens, with her own humour and quirkiness twisted on top.

Such as dayglow pink...

Legs…
And Liberty Fabrics and shoes…
Even fancy old moustaches

All showered in her own unique style that brings household basics to life.

A little message from La Cerise sur le Gâteau…

“Our Toile de Jouy comes from Alsace, our linen from the Vosges and naturally our Liberty prints come from London.  Our tea towels are woven in Portugal, but no further away than that, otherwise we’re talking too many air miles.

All our production is centred around Porto in Portugal, where they’ve a long textile history.

All our design work and everything else is done in our studio in a beautifully converted former factory in Alsace.”

Parfait!
