Cotton percale
The difference comes first from our percale. We have chosen a yarn made of only long-staple cotton. The longer the fibres, the finer and stronger the resulting thread. And our sheets are much softer that way. The weave of one thread over, one thread under, gives the percale a matt, soft feel. And with 240 thread count, ours stays light and fresh in all seasons. From the north to the south of France, you can sleep in it without being too hot or too cold. And even without having the air conditioning at home.

Fresh and soft
Because we love choice, all our percale bedding comes in six shades. We've come up with a palette of colours that are easy to mix and match: white, grey, beige, very light pink and grey or deep blue. Our sets are also available in a wide range of sizes, from single to super king size. There is something for every room. The quality of our percale makes it very easy to live with. We advise you to wash your sheets at 40° maximum every 7 to 10 days, using a mild liquid detergent. It dries in the air or in the tumble dryer at low temperature. And for ironing, it is gentle or optional.
