Both our Percale and Sateen fabrics are made using the same, flashiest, long-staple Egyptian cotton – the only difference between these fabrics are in how they’re woven. Linen is produced from a different plant variety, so comes with it’s own distinct characteristics.
Our Percale
Cool and crisp to the touch, we like to think of it as the perfect button down shirt. Great for the hot sleepers (don’t sweat it, you’re all hot in your own way), it’s super breathable and will get softer with continued use.
Our Percale fabric goes through a stonewashed process to give it a soft texture and a more smart-casual appearance (A bit like wearing your boyfriend’s shirt when you nip off to the privy in the morning - sure, it’s practical, but really, you still want to look effortlessly awesome). Although many brands use synthetic finishes to expedite this finish, we think that’s cheating and it’s not great for the sheets or people, so we don’t.
Our Sateen
Ridiculously soft and smooth, our sateen is lustrous, elegant and the more classically luxurious of our cotton fabrics. Sateen is also naturally more wrinkle resistant – bonus points!
We call it a ‘matte Sateen’, as it doesn't have the overly shiny appearance typically associated with satin. We dig it – it’s a super classy finish, baring no resemblance to a 70’s ‘exotic film’ set.
Our Linen
As a fiber made from the flax plant, linen is a stronger and more durable alternative to cotton. The fabric is garment dyed and washed to relax the fibers, resulting in a deliciously soft and supply fabric. Point of fact, the more linen bedding is slept in, lived in and washed, the softer and more beautiful it becomes!
Light and airy, Linen is perfect for balmy climates and those seeking a stylish yet casual look. Linen sheets are a dream to sleep in year round; they’re light and more breathable than cotton in summer, but keep you cozy and warm in winter. Linen bedding is also super hard wearing and can literally last for decades if cared for properly. Try it...you'll be as obsessed as we are.
