Today we’d like to introduce you to Katherine Shadley.
Katherine, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
The inspiration for Grande Maison’s first location in Beverly Hills was the Belgium-based luxury textile merchant La Grande Maison de Blanc. Translating to “The Great House of White” for its 1800’s sun-bleached façade and plethora of lightly tinted garments, the turn-of-the-century department store catered to the chic clientele of Brussels, Paris, New York City, and later to the West Coast.
Inspired by the rich history of La Grande Maison de Blanc, founder Tim O’Hearn resurrected this sentiment to Beverly Hills. Newly relocated in West Hollywood’s design district, Grande Maison continues to feature the world’s finest and most sought-after names in bedding and bath linens, distinctive goods, and lavish gifts.
Our expert team understands projects of any scope; providing top-notch design assistance and “above and beyond” personalized service.
Has it been a smooth road?
As you can imagine, in an age of mass-production, there are many options for people to fill their bed and bath linen needs. As a business in this competitive retail market, the true art is finding a way to reach clients and set yourself apart from everyone else in order to leave a lasting impression — and that’s where we excel.
We’d love to hear more about your business.
We understand that time is precious and something that can not be replaced. In that spirit, we offer a complimentary concierge service that includes on-site appointments, installations, drop-offs, and pick-ups, along with many other unique requests.
We have also found ourselves doing a great deal of custom sizes and options. We truly cherish our clients and want to ensure they feel as though they are part of our family, and we do everything to make them feel unique and special, no matter the size of the project.
We measure what matters, and it’s not just thread count. We embrace the beauty and heritage of handcrafted linens. Touched by many hands in many parts of the world, our textiles have stories to tell and souls to honor.
To us, this is an honest luxury.
Is our city a good place to do what you do?
I grew up in Jackson Hole Wyoming, I remember fondly how we use to go on long hikes and adventures. There was always beautiful scenery and wildlife.
