ABOUT FRETTE BEDDING
History
Frette (pronounced fret-AY) has been the leader in the international luxury bed, bath, and home furnishings industry for 160 years. The brand was founded in 1860 with the original retail shop in Milan, Italy. They are known for the impeccable quality of their bedding, their exquisite craftsmanship, and the luxurious feel of their sheet sets.
Frette is not only revolutionary in terms of craft, but also in distribution. In 1886, they became one of the first brands to launch a catalog that allowed them to sell luxury linens beyond Italy.
As one of the best brands in luxury bedding, Frette's resume matches their quality. More than 500 European royal families have slept on Frette sheets, and the brand has been the Official Purveyor of linens for the Italian Royal Family since 1881. Frette linens have graced St. Peter's Basilica in Rome as well as dressed the beds of the world's most illustrious ocean liners and trains, including the Titanic and the Orient Express.
Today, Frette bedding can be found in more than 1,000 luxury hotels around the world including The Plaza in New York, The Ritz-Carlton in Paris, The Savoy in London, The Royal Danieli Hotel in Venice, and The Peninsula in Hong Kong.
Materials and Quality
Frette was described by Forbes as having "some of the most beautiful home products in the world." From the beginning, it has been all about beauty and quality. Frette's range of bath, table, and bed linens is unmatched,
Frette uses the finest raw materials available. This means long-staple cotton from Egypt, silk from Asia, Merino Wool from the Mediterranean coast, and cashmere sourced exclusively from the Hyrcus goat.
Frette's fabrics are made in Como, Italy, the city considered to be the center of the luxury textile industry. Their weaving mill also produces fabrics for top clothing designers, reflecting the brand's connection to fashion. The combination of fine fibers and skilled Italian artisans produces a chic look and an inimitable feel.
Frette sheets are the best on the market. Their superior quality means they are long-lasting and absolutely worth the price tag.

"The ultimate experience... is really what Frette is about, it's creating an experience when you sleep, when you walk into your bedroom, the way you feel after your bath... that really says to you 'this is the way I want to feel for the rest of my life'"

A jacquard Frette coverlet like the Cavalry Milk Bedspread folded at the end of the bed over the comforter offers a sophisticated touch.
