Still sleeping in the ever-popular white? Studies have shown that darker colours promote better sleep, and natural greys are high up on the list.

“All the beauty of life is made up of light and shadows.” ~ Leo Tolstoy

At once calming and unassuming, with a warm undertone, Shadow is easy to work with to create breathtaking bedroom decor suitable to a vast range of styles.

Experience truly sensual sleep when you slip into your Falucca Fine Linen bedding. The natural fibres of the Egyptian Cotton offer ideal breathability, working to regulate your body temperature.

The Scandi touch

Traditionally styled with touches of flax linen and wool to create texture, we’ve given the Scandinavian style an update by incorporating natural tones that still adhere to the style’s principles of harmony and simplicity. A simple Oxford border offers a neat, classic detail that frames a beautifully styled bed.

Understated luxury

By adding a single satin stitch detail in Oyster to the Shadow, we bring a modern interpretation of a classic detail. We think this detail deserves formal styling to accentuate the clean, crisp line of the satin stitch.

All our Egyptian Cotton fabric is woven using a sateen weave, which achieves a satin-like feeling against your skin. It also gives the fabric a beautiful sheen when ironed, adding an opulent lustre showcased particularly well in the colour Shadow.

Ultra monochrome

The deep, warming Charcoal and soothing Shadow are merged in a reversible duvet cover in this look to create effortless style.

We add the finishing touch with bold border pillowcases that use Charcoal in the oxford border. It’s a “no frills, no fuss” look that’s easy to put together.

You will find an abbreviated version of the below care instructions on the stitch-in labels in all Falucca Fine Linen:

Washing

Make sure you machine wash at <40°, regularly. We recommend at least once a week if our linen is being slept in nightly. Do not overload the washing machine and make sure the bedding is rinsed properly. Wash whites and colours separately.

Detergent

Never use strong chemicals or detergents on your linen. We recommend a domestic liquid detergent readily available at all supermarkets. If you are making use of a laundromat make sure to research what detergents they are using as most industrial laundromats (not recommended) use industrial washing powders which contain bleaching agents (optical brighteners) which will fade coloured cotton and damage the natural fabrics. Small amounts of fabric softener can be used on cotton however this is not necessary. Softeners should not be used on True linen.

Tumble drying

When you tumble dry, do so on low heat. We do not recommend tumble drying as there is a tendency to over dry on a high heat which will damage the fabric. If tumble drying is necessary do not over dry and remove promptly to avoid unnecessary creasing. Line drying is recommended for longevity as it puts the least amount of stress on the fabric. Coloured cotton bedding should be dried out of direct sunlight, UVs fade the colour.

Ironing

Iron using a steam iron on the correct heat setting or iron while slightly damp.

Do not bleach

Do not dry clean

Colour consistency

Dye-lot variations occur in all textiles and are unavoidable. Dyed cotton is sensitive to direct sunlight and fading will occur, avoid drying your bedding in the sun, fading is also caused by optical brighteners used in most washing powders, never use strong chemicals or industrial washing powders on coloured or dyed cotton.
