The Nile Collection
Certified Egyptian cotton, woven in Egypt.
The cotton our name comes from. Grown in the Nile Delta, spun and woven by our certified partner mill in Egypt, and delivered duty-paid to your property.
Why Egyptian cotton
Longer fibres. Finer linen. Longer life.
Egyptian cotton is prized for its long and extra-long staple fibres. Longer fibres spin into finer, stronger yarn, which gives a smoother hand-feel and holds up better to commercial laundering.
Fine, long fibres make a smoother yarn with fewer exposed ends, so sheets feel silkier against the skin.
Stronger yarn resists pilling and wear through repeated industrial wash cycles, extending linen life.
Finer yarns allow genuine high thread counts in sateen and percale without heavy, stiff fabric.
From the Nile to your room
