THE JULIA B. STORY
At Julia B., we design and produce some of the world’s finest and most exclusive products for the home, combining hand-crafted artisanry with our exclusive designs to deliver beautiful products all carefully made to our customers’ personal specifications. The Julia B. Signature collections now extend from beautiful handmade linens for the bedroom and dining room to vintage inspired plates, glassware and silverware along with fabulous gift, bridal and baby items.
Julia B. was conceived and launched in 2002 by founder and CEO Julia Berger. Julia was raised in both Tokyo and San Francisco by a Japanese mother and an American father. Julia’s extensive travels in Asia, the Americas as well as Europe continue to fuel her passion for fine, hand-made products which are the foundation of today’s extensive Julia B. Collections. The combination of Asian simplicity mixed with a European tradition of extraordinary craftsmanship have been brought to life by Julia with inventiveness, freshness and style.
In a world increasingly dominated by mass, machine-made products, Julia is committed to her mission to re-introduce the quality, craftsmanship and joy of truly hand designed and handmade artistry into her customers’ homes and daily lives.
OUR INSPIRATION
Vintage linens and classic monograms have often served as a source of inspiration which guide our ever-evolving and expanding designs. Delicate hemstitching, raised-stitched monograming and white-on-white embroidery are all techniques that were routinely used for fine bedding, table and bath linens for centuries and which we have sought to re-establish in multiple forms and across multiple living spaces. We are proud of these efforts which combine the fine handwork of our one-of-a-kind custom products with new designs that extend across the dining table to include fabulous hand blown and cut crystal, beautiful hand painted ceramics as well as hand forged and etched silverware.
OUR CRAFTSMANSHIP
Combining the world’s finest materials with its most talented artisans is the foundation of the Julia B. offering. We select only the finest materials which are sourced from multi-generational, family-owned businesses from across the world. Our cotton percale and cotton piquet fabrics come to us from purveyors of the highest quality fabric in Italy; our linen fabrics are woven in Eastern Europe and Belgium; our cashmere is milled in Italy, and our embroidery and appliqué are crafted entirely by hand in Portugal, Vietnam and Madagascar, where the French legacy of craftsmanship has been passed down for generations, enabling us to produce what we believe is the finest quality handwork available in the world. The incredibly skilled artisans that produce our hand painted ceramics, hand blown and cut crystal and hand forged silverware all hail from Italy which to this day remains a major point of reference for the finest in handmade artistry.
OUR DESIGNS
The Julia B. Collections are designed to complement the style of any home from traditional to modern: our colors are classic, young, fresh and vibrant and our multiple monogram styles range from art-deco to contemporary. Combining one’s personal choices of color, fabric, texture and personalization with our handmade techniques, enables us to create unique and beautiful products for one’s family and home that should last for generations.
