Our Fabric Care Guides

Our bed linen, sleepwear, daywear and homeware collections are made from the finest natural and sustainable fabrics. From cotton and pure linen to sumptuous velvet and certified organic cotton, we design pieces that are made to last. Purchasing good quality sheets, quilts, duvet covers, inners and pillows is an investment, so it’s worth taking the time to care for your bed linen correctly. Discover how to care for each of the beautiful fabrics we make our collections from.

Pure cotton fabric is at the heart of our bed linen collections. We carefully source OEKO-TEX certified cotton and GOTS certified organic cotton from our suppliers, to ensure we’re creating the finest natural and sustainable bed linen for our customers.

The perfect fabric for all seasons, our linen collections are made from a responsive certified European linen fibre which will keep you cool in summer and warm in winter. Pure linen is beautiful, highly durable and sustainable. The more you use and launder your linen, the softer and more relaxed it becomes.

Our sumptuous cotton sateen bed linen is made from tightly woven, high thread count, pure cotton fabric. Cotton sateen is made by weaving four threads over and one thread under, creating a fabric that is soft, luxurious and smooth to the touch.

Pure silk is a luxurious, delicate fabric that requires special care and attention. Modal is a plant based fabric that is comfortable, breathable and soft on the skin.

Crafted from a fine cotton knit with a hint of cashmere, our Cotton Cashmere loungewear pieces feel incredibly soft. These versatile separates are designed to mix and match for relaxing in comfort.

Brushed cotton flannel is made by weaving fat cotton yarn into fabric then brushing the surface to create a soft fluffy feel, creating bedding that’s perfect for cosy winter beds.

Our luxurious velvet bedding collections are made from pure cotton velvet. With a sumptuous feel and lustrous sheen, velvet bedding will last for years if looked after properly.

We source the feather and down for our beautiful Downtime collection from carefully chosen suppliers who hold a current DOWNPASS certification. This means the feather and down is ethically harvested; supply chains are regularly audited and stringent hygiene requirements are met.

One of life’s simple pleasures is wrapping yourself up in a big fluffy towel after a hot shower or a relaxing bath. Our Oasis towels are made from plush, absorbent Egyptian cotton loop in a range of colours to complement all bathrooms.
