There are some things which are hard to get right and the way you want them exactly. I have struggled over the years to find sheets that are to my taste. Once I was only ever interested in finely woven Egyptian cotton and I would try to find the highest thread count and the best price but it was always a compromise / trade off. The right price but not the design or details you want. The right product but not the fibre you wanted. Over the past few years I have been far more interested in linen than in cotton. In the Sydney summertime it just gets way too humid for cotton and it becomes uncomfortable. Anything against your skin makes you sweat until you get to 3am when finally, somehow, in the wee hours, you pull your sheet up unbenownst to you and you find yourself under the covers when you wake up.
Then I discovered linen, which is slightly less crisp and far more relaxed which means you don't quite get the Ralph Lauren 'home' look when you finish making your bed, but what it doesn't give you in terms of aesthetic it makes up for in practicality and breathability in terms of getting a good night's rest. I am now sincerely a converty and even in winter, I still prefer linen. In fact, I am quite particular with my sheets and the layers on my bed, such that I would rather have a quilted coverlet on my bed and no duvet and no blanket, using throws that I leave at the end of my bed in case I get cold. That's about all you need for a Sydney winter save the coldest month between late July and late August.
We have teamed up with Ginger Dream - a company which specialises in bed linen. They have certified French linen which gets shipped to their workroom in mainland China. The sheets can be custom made to your size and colour specifications and finished with your own embroidery so that they are uniquely yours. I will add one other benefit of embroidering your sheets - you don't forget which end goes where!
I hope you have a chance to look at our new selection of linene sheets and if you are searching for bedding that is affordable, comfortable and chic, plus it's personalised so that they are most definitely your sheets, consider our new line at www.lenoeudpapillon.com . And one other thing, they won't go missing when they have your name on it!
