The chic shop carries the softest sheets, table linens and towels all made with the highest quality materials, said Helena Marchwicki, the store manager. Everything is made in Europe, either France or Italy, and the company only uses pure Egyptian cotton. Mattresses, pillows, soaps, candles and other accessories are also available.
