Meet Desiree Patterson + Regina Saavedra | Brand Manager + Creative Producer

We had the good fortune of connecting with Desiree Patterson + Regina Saavedra and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Desiree Patterson +, is there something you can share with us that those outside of the industry might not be aware of?
Many are unaware that we offer a white-glove service, a distinction that sets us apart in an industry where such offerings are becoming increasingly rare. Our commitment is to alleviating stress for planners by providing seamless service, ensuring that our linens are impeccably presented at every event.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
One of the biggest lessons we’ve learned along the way is the importance of consistency and embracing design risks. We understand that our style isn’t for everyone, but we believe in cultivating a community that resonates with our vision. The journey hasn’t been easy, but it has been filled with growth, learning, and a test of patience. Challenges arise daily, but we focus on solving them rather than dwelling on them. Overcoming obstacles is simply part of the process, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to take them on each day.

For us, linens are more than just fabric. They’re the foundation of a beautifully set table, a conversation starter, and a way to bring people together. We love collaborating with event professionals, dreaming up designs, and seeing how our pieces help bring a vision to life.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If our best friend was in town for a week, they’d definitely be put to work—no free rides here! Between folding linens and loading deliveries, we’d make sure to sneak in some fun, too. We’d take them to some of our favorite venue spots, like the stunning Vibiana, soak in the views from Terranea, and, of course, swing by our friends at Town and Country in West Hollywood for a quick hello (and maybe some much-needed caffeine).

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
We would like to give a shoutout to all the incredible planners—both seasoned professionals and those new to the industry. With so many linen options at their fingertips, we feel truly fortunate that they’ve chosen to work with us. The trust and loyalty of our repeat planners throughout the year reaffirm that we’re doing something right, and we couldn’t be more grateful.
