Cotton percale, cut and stitched in Gauteng
Crisp, breathable percale in white, stone and charcoal, woven to settle in after the first wash rather than fight you on the bed.
The cloth comes from mills in Pakistan and Portugal, then gets cut and sewn here in Gauteng. That matters when a shade sells out, because a restock moves through the floor in days instead of waiting on a container. The hand is matte and cool, which is what you want on a Highveld summer night, and it still layers under a duvet or an extra blanket once the cold sets in around June.
Each set carries one duvet cover and two pillowcases. The placket is hidden, so buttons sit flat against the duvet, and the hems are cut generously to keep the cover from sliding to one corner overnight. Sizes run from single through king, including three-quarter for the older flats where a standard double never quite fits.
Wash cold, line dry in shade, and give it a warm iron on the reverse if you like a crisp finish. Expect the percale to feel firmer out of the bag and softer by the third wash.

Naledi has spent the last nine years buying fabric and checking finished stock at our Johannesburg warehouse. She works directly with the mills in Pakistan and Portugal that supply our percale, and she is the person who signs off a dye batch before it goes into the catalogue. If a colour runs slightly warmer than the sample, she is the one who catches it.
Her notes on this set come from handling it daily: how the weave settles after the first cold wash, why the button placket sits where it does, and which sizes tend to move fastest when a shade is restocked. Guesthouse owners who order across multiple rooms usually deal with her directly on sizing and repeat orders.
