Our Approach to Textiles
Textiles are at the core of Rebecca Udall; we're committed to textile excellence across Bed, Bath and Table, alongside our unique and joyful homeware to complement.
One reason we are so passionate about textiles are their multi-faceted benefits; textiles contribute significantly to our homes. They are pieces we use at various points of the day, everyday: bringing comfort, beauty, texture, joy and ultimately that home feeling to our lives. No home is complete without textiles; often included in a myriad of weights, textures and materials across various forms.
We focus on fibre quality in conjunction with other factors: such as gsm or thread count, finishing, quality assurances and weaving know-how. Our textiles are also Oeko-tex 100 certified, meaning they are tested and proven free of harmful levels of toxic substances.
We champion working with heritage mills - some, the very best globally - and family-owned manufacturers. We are also focused on the design, believing that linens can elevate the everyday with both quality and design.
To explain further, we have a holistic approach to thread counts, which are often viewed - sometimes incorrectly - as the key quality indicator of exceptional bed linens. Beautiful bed linens are an art - balancing the different factors - and what is 'best' is also partially personal preference such as sateen or percale. We value the length of the cotton fibres, the skill of the weavers and finishers and the tailoring. This ensures our collections are the most comfortable, long-lasting and soft.
Whilst all of our textiles are excellent quality, we offer different collections for differing investment levels, within our ethos.
Our approach is based on:
1. Heritage
We champion heritage manufacturing - prestigious, age-old mills as well as heritage communities which have incredible know-how passed on from generation to generation.
2. Provenance
Sourcing from areas of provenance for their speciality offers further know-how. Our Portuguese bed and bath linens are produced in an historical textile region. Drawing on the expertise of our several generation family-owned manufacturer offers us the know-how to produce exceptional linens.
Equally, our Atelier bespoke Italian linens - the crème de la crème - are made by an especially prestigious and refined Italian mill and finishers. For linen, we champion European grown flax because it is the very best globally - stronger, softer and longer-lasting.
3. Longevity
By championing heritage mills and manufacturers using the finest raw materials, plus enduring and unique design, offers great longevity.
4. Design
Design is equally important, with the right details and consideration adding joy to each day. We take care to consider all the details: proportions, colours and shapes.
5. Considered Production
From Oeko-Tex 100 certification (all of our textiles are) to the Better Cotton Initiative and SEDEX certification, we are committed to supplying goods that support the people who make them, our planet and to make a positive impact to those who will own them. We hope for our pieces to become our future heirlooms or to be used daily over many years.
Textiles are hugely personal and we offer a wide range of European textiles, including bespoke possibilities, to suit a variety of investment levels. Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you need advice.
