Pratesi bed linens are legendary in the linens industry for innovative techniques that combine centuries-old European traditions with modern technology and hand-finishing processes to create linens of unsurpassed quality. Family-owned since 1896, the Pratesi phenomenon continues to grow through individual design that is both classic and contemporary.
From heads of state to international icons, Pratesi bed linens have graced the homes of the rich and famous with timeless style and uncommon taste.
The family tradition to create unparalleled linens has spanned four generations and continues to endure. The Pratesi family closely controls all aspects of the manufacture and distribution nationally and internationally of all of their bed, bath and table linens.
What makes the Pratesi Bed Linens remarkable is the attention to detail at each stage of the production process. From their villa north of Florence the Pratesi family creates the collection and closely monitors the production process in their workroom.
Each season the Pratesi family negotiates with the Egyptian cotton merchants to secure the top two percent of the southern Egyptian cotton crop. The humidity in this region promotes the growth of long staple cotton which is legendary for its softness. Pratesi uses the innermost threads in each cotton boll which are the most durable to create their bed linens.
From the time the cotton is sourced, dyed, woven into fabric and finished, a two year timeline is required to manufacture each piece. Every piece is manufactured with artisan craft in mind and is hand embroidered and hand finished.
