Linen is an inherently European product. This proximity has created a unique industry, with professions that range from growers to weavers, from knitters to traders, that encompasses every possible company, from the smallest corner stores to the largest factories. Linen is intertwined with the social fabric of the land.

Much of what makes quality bed linen a special product has to do with the raw materials. If the process doesn't start with an elite product, not all the technique and talent in manufacturing will prevent you from creating a disappointing product. Egyptian Cotton™ is one of the best raw materials on the planet. Originating from the fertile banks of the River Nile in Egypt, this cotton is renowned for its long, fine fibres, providing a feeling of incomparable luxury and guaranteeing excellence in every piece of bed linen.

Have you ever read the label on one of your favorite sheets and found the word SUPIMA written somewhere? Perhaps you found a reference online and wondered what it meant. Well, SUPIMA® cotton is one of the finest cottons on the planet, and its extra-long fibers make for exceptionally soft, durable and luxurious fabrics.

Mulberry silk has a long and storied past. It is grown in China, and it has a long tradition. The silk is made by the larvae of the Bombyx mori, the domestic silk moth. In this aspect, it is not unique. What makes it unique is what the larvae are fed. They eat only leaves from the mulberry tree, and it is that very special diet that allows them to weave such a perfect, smooth, silk.
