Our exclusive luxury bed linen range is mostly made of 100% COTTON PERCALE, SATEEN, JACQUARD COTTON, JACQUARD SATEEN AND JACQUARD COTON SILK.
PERCALE is woven cotton sheeting with a thread count of at least 180. It's different from linen, jersey, sateen, and flannel in that its surface is "driest" and offers the most crisp hand. Percale is the sheeting equivalent of an excellent cotton shirt. Percale is wonderful winter and summer.
The mercerized luster is one of the hallmarks of good SATEEN. Sateen is very soft to the touch, with a high thread count, and drapes well. Sateen fabric uses the satin stitch in construction, which means the threads are mostly on one side of the fabric, giving that smooth look. Once you have washed and dried the sateen cotton sheets a few times they become softer. They are also more durable than egyptian cotton. The egypian cotton pills after about the third washing. The thread count may be the same in both but sateen's weave is tighter which in turn makes them the better sheet.
Top of our range is JACQUARD WEAVE linen. A JACQUARD weave structure creates a variety of patterns, such as damasks, florals and geometric. Intricately woven shiny fabric with a tonal floral design woven into the fabric.Jacquard weaves have a varying drape ability and durability depending on which fibers are used. It is more stable and resilient than the basic weaves.
