Welcome to Aiko Luxury Linens (www.italianfinelinens.com) summer 2010 newsletter!
In this issue we focus on patterns and fabrics that are designed to keep us cool and comfortable when the temperature rises. Our selection consists of Egyptian cotton fabrics that are woven of single ply yarns which allow the body to breathe during sultry, summer nights.
For a touch of vibrant color we really like Soleil by Signoria (made in Italy). This exuberantly printed design of bougainvillea in tones of fuchsia, pink and green on white 300 thread count sateen brings a bold splash of color to the bedroom. Combine the floral duvet cover and shams with coordinating sheets in a stripe pattern. You may also coordinate SOLEIL with Raffaello solid sateen sheets or Masaccio quilted coverlets in white, bordeaux or moss green.
Another lovely floral with a more subdued color palette of soft blue and green is Giverny by Nancy Koltes. Inspired by Claude Monet’s famous garden, Giverny is made to order in the USA using fabric that is woven in Italy. You may combine Giverny with Vanity solid sateen sheets.
A classic and a perennial favorite bedlinen is Les Naturelles by Christian Fischbacher (made in Switzerland). This sateen and cotton batiste combination (batiste weighs approximately 30% less than sateen) is available in white or ivory and several patterns that consist of checks, stripes and dots – a unique, diaphanous fabric that is light as air. Combine Les Naturelles with Sateen 105 sheets.
And now for the ultimate in luxury bed linens Giza 45 by Sferra. Initially used in the manufacture of Italian couture men’s shirts, Sferra has introduced this ultra luxurious fabric for bedding. An extremely fine and strong yarn, Giza 45 has an extraordinary soft and silky texture with an elegant drape. Select from white or ivory percale, sateen or jacquard.
Due to popular demand, Aiko Luxury Linens has stocked for quick shipment a limited inventory of Locarno and Lugano white Polish goose down comforters (queen and king size only) by Christian Fischbacher of Switzerland. Almost 100% down with a Swiss batiste cotton tick, they are meant to wick moisture away from the body to keep you comfortable.
This is only the tip of the iceberg. There is much more fine bedding to keep you cool as a cucumber. Don't hesitate to contact Aiko Luxury Linens (http://www.italianfinelinens.com/) for more suggestions.
