Linen, A Sustainable Choice

Linen is 3x as strong as cotton, so a linen or cotton-linen duvet cover lasts much longer than cotton bedding. Linen is also an environmentally friendly material.

This natural substance can regulate heat very well, making it feel cool in summer and allowing it to retain heat in winter.

Moss Green for that Instant Autumn Feel

Immerse yourself in the world of shades of green and bring seductive moss green to your interior. This beautiful natural tone is reminiscent of the bright green moss from the forest and exudes a natural calm. It immediately gives you a warm autumn feeling!

We see soft, dreamy colours. Subtle lilac and antique white. We also see sand colours, ash and powder tones and, every now and then, a touch of night blue. Mysterious and magically captivating. The prints are romantic, vintage and dreamy.

An endless summers' day

The prints are playful, uplifting, romantic, the colours are feminine, soft and summery. Darling pink, pistache, dreamy yellow and antique white add a feminine touch to the colour palette while earth pink, bright terra, beach day and marron provide a natural and earthy feel. Add a bit of lovely lilac and antique pink to complete the summer setting.

Spring is around the corner

The scent of fresh lemons fills our home and moody colours make way for the colours of spring. Silk, antique white and morning swim. Soft tones and dreamy prints covered in dots, flowers, fruit and the occasional bird.
