Paris sourcing service

Paris finds, chosen just for you.

Linen Rue searches Paris markets and trusted dealers for vintage cottons and linens that suit your palette, project, and budget—then sends the best pieces directly to you.

Personal, independent sourcing. No invented inventory and no pressure to approve a find.

Linen Rue hero

The founder promise

A careful eye, with nothing hidden.

You approve first

Every proposed piece arrives by photo with dimensions, condition notes, and its price before purchase.

Flaws are disclosed

Patina can be beautiful; surprises are not. Stains, repairs, thinning, and wear are documented plainly.

Your brief leads

Sourcing follows your use, color story, measurements, and ceiling—not a preselected shop assortment.

The service

From your moodboard to a parcel from Paris.

For collectors, decorators, makers, and hosts looking for textiles with history—not mass-produced replicas.

  1. 01

    Shape the brief

    Share your references, intended use, preferred fibers, measurements, tolerance for patina, and total budget. Linen Rue turns that into a focused Paris search list.

  2. 02

    Search the city

    Your shopper visits flea markets, brocantes, and specialist sellers, examining weight, weave, marks, and condition in person rather than relying on listing photos.

  3. 03

    Approve, pack, receive

    Review a concise edit, approve only what you love, and receive one carefully packed shipment with purchase details and simple care guidance.
