Burlap Bags


{French Burlap Bags; $119-130 measuring 26 W x 40" L}


The craze for burlap is never ending! We get calls and emails on a DAILY basis requesting us to hunt down this burlap thing and that burlap thing in our frequent pilgrimages to France.

One such recent request was for a film starring Jennifer Aniston. The set design team wanted us to hunt down at least 18 AUTHENTIC burlap with printed French writing in order to reupholster a variety of chairs. A handful remains in our inventory
.......................and they are fantastic!

We'd love to fashion them into long bench cushions or upholster the back of a Bergere Chair....but we're more anxious to see what YOU do with them!



The above Burlap Bags are available NOW, but new reproduction burlap pillows are on their way!~~ New Designs arriving very, very soon! Pre order this week; your card is not charged until March 1; order ships March 6. Many more designs coming but here's a preview:

Coffee, Tea or Chocolat?

Antique French Lait Bowls $28-49


Some even use these lovelies as cereal bowls, but we'd rather imagine sipping Café au Lait sitting along the Siene on Que de la Tournelle....adorned with gloves, beret and a small Moleskin notebook musing about the day's adventures...

After all, cafes are the heartbeat of Paris. Its living stage. Anyone who has sat more than 5 minutes at any café or bistro knows you are suddenly immersed into the Parisian way of life. And since these establishments don't follow trends, they are simply FRENCH CHIC.




I once knew a woman who'd pull her French tableware out, sip her coffee and then write out a postcard in the comfort of her front porch; she'd send that very postcard to herself which noted the approximate date and location of where she wanted to visit next. Dreams aliven the spirit!


Just brought back from France, Antique Lait Bowls in a variety of colors and sizes.
Available now at vintageweave.com

Having a Heart



January is always one of our busiest months at Vintageweave Interiors. It's been this way since we opened our doors six years ago.....

many want to start the new year with a fresh look + crazy, busy awards' season in Los Angeles

This year, we have been blessed with having an extremely fruitful January during a time when part of our world is experiencing devastation in unimaginable measure.

Thanks TO ALL OF YOU who supported Vintageweave during January, we were able to take a portion of our proceeds and donate to help the relief efforts in HAITI. $4,000 was donated yesterday from the business to Catholic Charities /Haiti Fund (to aid the orphans) and to Doctors Without Borders. This would not have been possible without YOUR SUPPORT!

While many of us have likely given from our own pockets (myself included), I'm especially grateful that the business was able to do our small part. Our prayers for the people of Haiti continue along with yours....

With gratitude,
Kathy Delgado
Founder/Owner


We are all connected....
We all share a heart....

Bordeaux anyone?


Whether or not you are a lover of wine, the uniqueness of wine paraphernalia has always been an attractive decor item in our design schemes for many clients.

These antique French wine jugs are FANTASTIC....!! We scooped up all we could and while many sold the moment they were placed in the boutique, about 20 still remain.




All in GREAT condition and each comes shipped in a crate made from old wood (crate not antique).


While gorgeous displayed just as they are, we had one on display in the boutique as shown below. An owner of a new Napa Valley restaurant loved it so much, he's having us put together three bottles filled for his restaurant display. Tres chic! Fortunately we came across boxes and boxes of corks being discarded by a Napa Winery last year...finally found the perfect use!


New container from our latest French buying trip in now!
Antique French Bordeaux Wine Jugs
Circa 1930-1940
