“Known for chic, original designs and inimitable finish and feel, Frette linens can be found in the world’s most illustrious hotels as well as in the most discerning private homes, yachts and aircraft.
Historically, Frette linens have been featured everywhere from the altar of St. Peter’s Basilica to the dining car of the Orient Express, and more than 500 European royal families have slept beneath its sheets.”
I have tried Frette sheets a couple of times over decades and did not find them better than other good brands and seemed permanently wrinkled — did not even iron well. Hotel laundries have massive rolling press irons that overcome this issue.
the only one i've tried and can speak to is the greenwich percale collection. it's cool and crisp, very much that hotel bed feeling. however, all of the sheets by them are industrial-grade and meant to be used and washed over and over, so it's not going to be the highest thread count out there. i would look for the one that will fit your space the best!
the taurus in me lives for this exact style of investigative journalism
i'm a taurus too so i got you completely! <3
You gotta try Frette.

yes!!! frette (+ matouk) are great, definitely more consumer focused/less hospitality focused than something like bellino. higher thread count, etc.
I have Matouk too! I owe all my lux linen knowledge to my girlfriend who introduced me to this world. I eat it up

that's interesting, i will say my matouk percale sheets wrinkle a bit more than other percale sheets that i own.
I had been trying to track those sheets down for years!
there is just something about a good hotel bed you never forget!
I included The Bowery's bathrobe in a gift guide last year, I agree it's the perfect treat!!
fab! such a fun and "if you know you know" gift
Which set in particular do you recommend?
