(PRWEB) May 10,
2006 -- Elegant Linens
announces the expansion of their
inventory of matchless Italian bed
linens. Exciting new collections from Sferra, dea, and La Signoria confirm
worldwide recognition of the
unparalleled excellence of Italian bed
and nursery linens. The superiority of
fine Italian linens is an established
tradition throughout the textile
manufacturing industry. The key to the
incomparable quality of Italian linens
is great design and best-of-breed raw
materials combined with cutting edge
manufacturing and finishing processes
that result in a product unsurpassed for
luxurious comfort and durability.
The supremacy of Italian textile
manufacturing dates to the time of the
Renaissance. During the 14th century
Italy prospered through wool and silk
fabric production in city states such as
Prato, Florence and Lucca. The growing
of mulberry trees became widespread in
the district just north of Milan in
order to supply raw material for silk
production to Milanese manufacturers.
Inhabitants of the area began to use
their products directly and it soon
became possible to carry out production
locally; by the 18th century a third of
all the functioning silk mills were
concentrated in this area.
The tradition of luxury textile
manufacturing in Tuscany continues
today. Silk production has been replaced
in the textile district by the
production of an amazing array of modern
luxury fabrics made from 100% Egyptian
cotton, Mongolian wool and flax from
Belgium, especially jacquards, sateen
and cashmere. Advanced manufacturing
technology and systems are employed by
small family-type firms that have now
arrived at the fourth generation of
entrepreneurs. Meticulous quality
standards and a propensity for
innovation in the processing of raw
materials have resulted in fabrics that
are acknowledged to be the finest in the
world.
Italian artisans have long known that a
superior finished product begins with
the best raw materials. To understand
what creates the soft hand and the
lustrous finish of the world's most
luxurious linens one must consider more
than just thread count. The measure of
the number of yarns woven into one
square inch of fabric is important but
the quality of a fine fabric starts with
the quality of the fiber itself, and the
yarn made from it. Long-staple Egyptian
cotton grown on the banks of the Nile is
selected, cleaned and spun into smooth,
silken yarns by master craftsmen in
Italy. Long-staple cotton can be spun
into a smoother, stronger, much finer
yarn, so that it is possible to weave
more threads per inch into the fabric,
resulting in a higher thread count and
smoother fabric. State-of-the-art
finishing brings out the silken sheen of
sateen, chamois-soft or crisp percale,
lustrous jacquard and the richest,
longest-lasting colors while enhancing
both the feel of the fabric and the
quality of the weave. The end result of
all this care and attention is a
difference that can be felt in linens
that are woven with the luxury of fine
heirlooms.
The Italian tradition of reverence for
craftsmanship and generations of
experience and expertise allow the
world's finest spinners, weavers,
sewers, embroiderers and artisans to
craft extraordinary linens. Beautiful
