FAQ
-
As part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability, we’ve reviewed how we produce and distribute our much loved seasonal catalogue.
Our bedding, homeware and sleepwear collections are created in small, considered batches to prevent wastage and reduce our impact on the environment. We have applied this same approach to our newly designed seasonal Journal launching in autumn. We are printing a smaller run on better quality, fully recyclable paper stock with more of a ‘look book’ feel, designed for beautiful lifestyle inspiration.
The smaller print run results in benefits for the environment by using less paper and removing fuel miles from posting our Journal to every customer. Our new Journal will be available for customers in-store and by request through our customer service team, ensuring that those who really love our Journal will still be able to enjoy a copy.

Yes they are. Our Downtime bedding is made by carefully chosen suppliers who have been awarded the internationally recognised Downpass certification.

Yes, our linen collections are made from European Flax certified fibre. European Flax® certification is the guarantee of traceability for premium linen fibre grown in Europe. A natural and sustainable fibre, cultivated without artificial irrigation and GMO free.
-
Yes it is. We believe in using the finest natural fabrics from renewable sources. Where possible, we choose organic cotton for our bed linen and sleepwear collections. Organic cotton is produced free from pesticides, insecticides, herbicides and genetic modification, which minimises impact on the environment. This also contributes to a safer environment for the people who work with cotton crops, the local wildlife and their ecosystems.
We collaborate with a handful of carefully chosen suppliers who carry the OEKO-TEX* Standard 100 certification and Global Organic Textile Standard certification (GOTS)**. These organisations oversee the production process to ensure a more transparent and accountable supply chain. And this means we are working with suppliers whose ethical and sustainable principles align with our own.
*OEKO TEX is a consistent worldwide certification system for the textile industry. Certified manufacturers must adhere to environmentally friendly production methods, without the use of banned colourants or harmful chemicals and with consideration for the recycling and thoughtful dispersal of water, among other factors.
**GOTS is the Global Organic Textile Standard and has a clearly defined set of transparent criteria. GOTS is the worldwide leading textile processing standard for organic fibres, including ecological and social criteria, backed up by independent certification of the entire textile supply chain. GOTS certified final products may include fibre products, yarns, fabrics, clothes and home textiles. Having one common standard means textile processors and manufacturers can export their fabrics and garments with one organic certification that is accepted in all major markets. This transparency also gives consumers the power to choose truly organic products sourced from green supply chains.

Modal is a wonderfully soft breathable fabric made by turning Beech tree wood pulp into a strong yet soft closed loop cellulose fibre. The pulp is a bi-product of regenerative and renewable Beech trees which makes Modal completely biodegradable. The resulting fabric is strong yet twice as soft as cotton.
Modal is a beautiful fabric for sleeping in comfort, being lightweight, breathable and soft against your skin. It has a smooth surface which drapes and flows and is not prone to pilling. Modal performs well in the laundry and as our garments are pre-washed, shrinkage should be minimal.
We use Modal, Organic Cotton and Cotton fabrics for our sleepwear collections. Discover versatile sleepwear pieces to love, enjoy and gift made from Modal and far too beautiful to hide under the sheets!
