global warming

Like many people, I am frightened by the concept of global warming. Some say there is no such thing; most believe it is most definitely a reality. I believe global warming is most definitely real and is a huge issue.

When I started Yumi & Laurie, I must admit, the concept of the blanQuette™ was the driving force behind my company. I really wasn’t thinking about the environment when I thought about how I was going to bring this product to market.

In the early phases of creating the blanQuette™, I realized that the only responsible thing to do was to make this product with the environment in mind. I have asked myself many times whether companies like mine are really making a difference. Then I think; how can we not! Yes, it is a small change but how else can move this big world if we do not break it into small steps.

The Yumi & Laurie blanQuettes™ are made with organic cotton and bamboo. Our blanQuette™ is long lasting and will bring you years of comfort and pleasure. Yumi & Laurie will always bring you products that you will find beautiful and luxurious, yet ever lasting. Our commitment to our customers is to continually bring you unique concepts that you will absolutely love in your homes. Stay with us and see!

They Love our Blanquette™!

Green, organic products fashion

“It wasn’t long ago that most products—especially clothes—labeled “green,” were considered a form of deprivation—clearly showing their recycled roots; limited to color palettes of oatmeal and brown; and in some cases, simply ugly. Now, the finer things in life are increasingly becoming environmentally virtuous—or at least, that’s how they’re being marketed.” - portfolio.com.

Read how top fashion designers, luxury automobile manufacturers, jewelry designers, and other makers of luxury market products are going green. Green is the new black when it comes to the chic luxury market! Read this fascinating article at Conde Nast’s portfolio.com - click here.
