Cotton percale, revisited by Alexandre Turpault
Inherited from our grandmothers, cotton percale is not a material but a type of weaving tighter, generally in 80 threads/cm², which gives the fabric a smooth, soft and silky touch. Many brands offer cotton percale bedding, but very few reach our level of quality. No boasting on our part, and we will prove it to you.
KNOW-HOW AND NATURAL MATERIALS
REAL COTTON PERCALE
Cotton percale is a type of weave, not a material, as we said above. So to choose real cotton percale and not a simple cotton bedding, make sure that the weave is 80 threads/cm². Needless to say, this is the case for our bed linen made of real cotton percale, a know-how passed down from generation to generation for 170 years. For an incomparable softness and hold, our cotton percale is woven very tightly, which gives it this so-called "superior" quality, thanks to a longer life span while keeping its new appearance over the washings.
THE CHOICE OF 100% LONG FIBER COTTON
As cotton percale is not a material in its own right, you will find different qualities of percale on the market, the least viable being mixed percale, made of cotton and polyester. So if you prefer natural materials, much healthier for your skin and the planet, you will be delighted to know that our percale bedding is made of 100% long fiber cotton: the best quality cotton. Enjoy the ultimate luxury of smooth, shiny and incredibly soft pure Egyptian cotton percale.
A STRONG AND INSPIRED STYLE
NATURE AT THE HEART OF OUR LIVES
Nature is for us an infinite source of inspiration, we cherish this theme, hence its presence in many of our collections.
Discover ERMITAGE, a bedding set printed on a fresh and soft cotton percale, finished with a coordinated grosgrain. It turns nature into a sanctuary where you can recharge your batteries by evoking the canopy of trees, a protective roof for our nights. Its palette of gray-green tones softened by whites and ecru lets a comforting light drip through, in a balance without any dissonance.
ESCAPE FOR STILL JOURNEYS
On a fresh cotton percale, the MAGELLAN bedding evokes in us the great human discoveries in search of the riches of the earth and the oceans. Printed in navy shades, the design offers a rich variety of patterns and techniques in different sizes. The reverse side offers a refreshingly light stripe pattern in a more classic light blue on a bright white background.
The bed linen set in cotton percale ROUTE DE LA SOIE features palmettes, a typical Persian Kashmir pattern, representing a bouquet of flowers or stylized leaves. Treated as a mosaic, the design is a nod to the fashion of Terrazo in the decor, on a light gray pearly background.
DOWN TO THE SMALLEST DETAIL
Worked for the most part at the best Italian master printers, our finishes are of exceptional finesse.
The same tone of braid piping completes the IKAT LEAVES cotton percale set with a hint of yellow ochre. The cool, smooth feel of this design enhances the feeling of relaxing freshness and airy comfort, like a regenerating green bath in the heart of a hot summer. A fusion of a typical Art Deco foliage pattern with small "Ikat" motifs, this fresh design is printed on a light green, light gray and pure white background, embellished with khaki, ochre and midnight blue accents.
As for the L'ILE ROUSSE bed linen set, the Pétrus braid in piping offers great finesse and precision. Its matte percale fabric absorbing colors infuses an Art Deco trend to its stylized plants, references to the stencil technique used in the 18th century to make wallpapers. The contrast of the white motif on a terracotta background gives a lot of relief to the design. The modernity is brought by the reverse side of this bed set, printed with a micro-pattern tie.
