Frette (/frɛˈteɪ/[1] freh-TAY) is an Italian textile company that manufactures bed and bath linens.

[2] Jean Baptiste Ennemonde (Edmond) Chavasse Frette was born on 12 June 1838, in Grenoble, France, to Jean Claude Chavasse Frette, a fabric dyer, merchant, and manufacturer of socks and knitted shirts, and Marie Maréchal.

"[citation needed] Chaboud became the financial officer, and Payre and Frette became traveling merchants.

As a traveling merchant, Frette started working in Italy, an export market and a source of materials.

[citation needed] Coarse B2B products constituted the most significant portion of Frette's trade.
