After immigrating to United States in 1937, my grandparents, Rosel and Samuel Scheuer, decided to sell fine linens in customers' homes in the San Francisco Bay Area. My father, Fred, joined the business in 1946 and continued to build the business by making presentations in customers' homes from suitcases, also packed with samples from Europe.
In 1953, our first stand-alone store opened on Stockton St., a few doors up from Union Square in downtown San Francisco. When my father passed away in 1982, I took over and we remain one of the last family-owned businesses in the downtown area. We moved around the corner to our current and much larger location on Sutter St. in 1994.
Since our inception, we have been committed to carrying the very finest and most luxurious bed, bath, and table linens from around the world. My grandparents and parents stressed the importance of personalized and knowledgeable customer service and this is still reflected today by our friendly sales staff, most of whom have been here for many years. Customers still sit in comfortable chairs, in the traditional European style, while they are presented with a huge selection of options.
We personally test almost everything that we sell so when we can give you advice or make recommendations, it's based on our personal experiences. We do a lot of custom work in our workroom and can accommodate special sizes and shapes. We can also create unique, fashionable ensembles for any décor or style and continue to do custom embroidery and personalized monogramming.
We're always happy to send you swatches or samples upon request. And please feel free to call us toll free at 1-800-762-3950 to speak with our linen experts.
