About Yves Delorme Athena: An Aesthetic Delight
Yves Delorme Athena is a luxury bedding collection that embodies sophistication and timeless elegance. Crafted from 100% Supima long-staple combed cotton in an indulgent 500 thread count percale weave, Athena delivers a crisp, cool, and breathable sleeping experience. The collection is made on a base of white percale sheeting; its standout feature is a distinctive bourdon embroidery line that extends vertically and horizontally for a modern, edge-of-the-horizon look. Made with meticulous care in France, Athena bedding is certified STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX®, ensuring both quality and safety.

The Many Ways Athena Bedding Lives Up to its Name
When we look at the qualities for which the goddess Athena is known and loved, this luxurious bedding definitely lives up to her name. Let's take a closer look:
- Craftsmanship: Athena, the goddess of weaving, would surely appreciate the exceptional craftsmanship of this collection. Athena bedding showcases Yves Delorme's mastery in textile creation, from the intricate bourdon stitching to the expertly woven Supima cotton fabric. Each piece reflects the same attention to detail and skill that Athena herself was said to possess at the loom.
