What is dobby weave and why does it make a difference?
A dobby weave creates a subtle, structured pattern woven directly into the fabric rather than printed on the surface. In this collection, the dobby stripes have a gentle sheen that catches the light for a refined, elegant finish. Combined with a 600 thread count, the result is a bed linen that feels silky and smooth while looking quietly luxurious.
Is this bed linen made with genuine Egyptian cotton?
Yes. Every piece in this collection is made with 100% certified Egyptian cotton, accredited by the Cotton Egypt Association and Oeko-Tex certified. Egyptian cotton is known for its extra-long staple fibres, which produce a finer, stronger yarn and a beautifully soft fabric that only improves with washing.
How are the stripes arranged across the different pieces?
The wide dobby stripes run lengthways down the duvet cover and fitted sheet, giving a classic, tailored look. On the pillowcases, the stripes run widthways for a smart, considered finish that adds visual interest across the whole bed.
What finishing details are included?
The duvet cover fastens with buttons and pillowcases have a neat envelope closure for a pristine appearance. Fitted sheets are elasticated all the way around for a smooth, secure fit. Bed sets include two Oxford pillowcases across all sizes.
Should I wash this bed linen before using it for the first time?
We'd recommend washing it before your first use to remove any loose fibres and allow the fabric to soften beautifully. From that very first wash onwards, you'll enjoy the full benefit of the silky dobby weave and the exceptional quality of the Egyptian cotton.
How do I care for this bed linen?
Wash at 30 degrees and hang to dry where possible, removing from the tumble dryer while slightly damp if that's your preference. A light steam iron while still a little moist will give you that beautifully crisp hotel finish. Use powdered detergent for white pieces and avoid optical brighteners or biological detergents.
