Single, queen or king beds, children's mattresses, reception or dining room tables… Aigredoux adapts to each interior design to create the most beautiful made-to-measure pieces.

 

Fitted sheet

We recommend a fitted sheet size identical to that of the mattress in order to fit the contours. We pay particular attention to the height of the mattress and that of the mattress topper for a fitted sheet that stays in place from bedtime to wake up. We recommend the fitted sheet’s corner height 5 to 10 cm higher than that of the mattress.

 

Duvet cover

 

The duvet cover dimensions should match the size of the duvet.

A generous overhang is provided on each side. It is recommended to have about 40 cm of fallout on each side. For a 160 cm bed, a 240x220 duvet cover would be most suitable - or for a 180 cm bed, 260x240 cm - for a 200 cm bed, 280x240 cm.

Beyond the recommended fallout, you will need to adapt to the height of the mattress as well as the bed, and opt for larger fallouts so that the bedding set fits perfectly into the bedroom.

Wallet, bottle or button finish? Personalize your duvet cover down to the closing system for neat detailing !

 

 

Flat sheet and top sheet

We recommend a sheet size much larger than that of the mattress in order to be able to tuck it in. For example, for a 180 mattress with a 25 cm mattress, a 270 cm sheet will be suitable, but with a thicker mattress a 300 cm sheet will be needed.

Other dimensions – consult us

 

Pillow cases and bolsters

The dimensions of the pillowcases are similar to those of the pillows.

As for the bolster, its dimension will be larger to achieve an overhang on each side (approx. 20 cm).

 

Tablecloth

To define the size of your tablecloth, you will need to add the desired fallout to the measurements of the table. For an "everyday" table we recommend a drop of 20 cm, and for more formal dining, an elegant drop of 30 cm will be more suitable.

To calculate the dimensions of the tablecloth, it is therefore necessary to add 2 times the fallout length to the dimension of the table. For example: a 180x240 table with a drop of 20cm, the tablecloth will be 220x280 cm.

Each new collection is developed together with all Aigredoux employees. Everyone is involved in the new selection of materials, designs, colors, etc.

Cutting of the fabric :

Morgan is the one responsible for cutting the fabric. He creates the link between the validated order and the workshop. A first quality control takes place at the fabric cutting stage. During this step, it is with a precise gesture and a keen eye that Morgan unrolls the validated fabric and examines it carefully to ensure that it does not present any weaving defects. The cutting is done by hand, in the purest French textile tradition.

The production

Diep, the workshop manager then takes over.

During the assembly of the parts, she carries out a second quality control. Before obtaining its final appearance, the assembled product passes through several hands in the workshop who ,with dexterity and precision, carry out the final finishes and embroideries.

Ironing and shipping

Julie is responsible for the final preparation, she ensures with her team that the products meet the customer's expectations. Quality control down to the smallest detail: fabrics, cuts, colors, finishes.

Last final touch, Julie irons without leaving a crease and prepares it for the packaging as desired by the customer; individually, per room,…

By controlling all links in the manufacturing and supply chain, the Aigredoux team is able to respond within very short deadlines to each unique project. “We’re all committed of making the most beautiful, sustainable and bespoke household linen for our customers. It is with passion that the Aigredoux teams take on this challenge every day. Sensitive to sustainable development, all textile waste are recycled and our fabric scraps have a second life as they’re donated and reused.”

In a constant quest to offer the highest quality linen, Aigredoux carefully selects prestigious yarns and fabrics from the greatest Italian weaving houses: a true guarantee of quality. Natural or synthetic, only the longest, finest and most homogenous fibers are chosen in the manufacturing of our household linen.

 

Natural fibers with multiple natural properties :

• Cotton: resistant, flexible, insulating and with high absorbency.
• Linen: strong, very absorbent, and excellent breathability.
• Wool: thermo-regulating, resistant, hypoallergenic and self-cleaning.
• Silk: light, shiny, resistant and highly elastic.
• Precious blends of materials: wool & cotton, cotton & silk…

 

Innovative fabrics with technical qualities :

• Cotton percale: from 200 to 1000 threads / inch2. More resistant and durable than traditional cotton due to its tighter weave.
• Cotton sateen: from 300 to 1400 threads/inch2. Supple, silky and shiny.
• Polycotton: Crease-resistant and quick-drying.
• Special table linen/accessory cotton: up to 1400 threads/inch2 600 threads/inch2 and 285gr/m2. Resistant and easy to care for.
• Terry cloth: 570 to 690 gr/m2. Very absorbent and UV resistant.

 

All fabrics are dyed in colorfast tints. We employ a high quality dyeing process, as the color reaches the heart of the yarn ensuring brilliant colors wash after wash.

 

A premium quality thread

 

The quality of the thread is decisive in the rendering of the fabric and its result. In addition to the length and fineness of the thread, the density of thread per square centimeter and the method of weaving are evaluation criteria to be taken into account when judging the quality of a fabric.

Aigredoux uses a tighter weaving of fabrics with a high number of threads, thus offering fabrics that are:

- more supple,

- better held,

- highly durable.

 

 

Labeled fabrics

Aigredoux is committed to offering fabrics that treat its customers’ skin with utmost respect.

Our cotton is certified Oeko-Tex Standard 100, an international control standard which certifies that at each stage of processing, the fabric does not contain any chemical substance.

Our linen is labeled Masters of linen®, a seal of excellence promoting European production (France, Belgium and the Netherlands). This label guarantees a controlled origin and ecological protection from the cultivation to the transformation of the material.

Washing

All Aigredoux collections are designed to be easy to maintain. However, there are some exceptions for fabrics made of silk, wool and cashmere.

Step 1/ SOAK THE LAUNDRY

In order to stabilize the colors of a new linen, Aigredoux recommends soaking it before its first wash:

- Sort laundry by color,

- Soak in cold water,

- Without detergent,

- For several hours.

The fibers will be tightened and the linens rinsed of any dye residues.

 

 

 

Step 2/ MACHINE WASH

Depending on the composition of the linen, the washing cycle and the temperature must be adapted.

Depending on the level of soiling and the color, cotton sheets, bath towels or tablecloths are efficiently cleaned at high temperatures.

Conversely, other more delicate linens made of wool or silk should be washed at low temperatures with a slow spin to avoid any felting or deformation of the fibre.

Our golden rules for maintaining your household linen in the washing machine:

• Follow the temperature instructions indicated on the care labels sewn on each article.
• Use a liquid detergent suitable for each type of material and without bleach.
• Adjust the amount of detergent according to the amount of laundry to be washed.
• Wash inside out.
• Do not use chlorine or fabric softener.
• Wash linens regularly. Water will soften the fibers.

 

Drying

Aigredoux recommends drying in the open air. However, most fabrics are designed to be tumble dried. Here are precautions to keep in mind for successful drying.

 

Open air

• Hang the laundry as soon as possible after washing.
• Dry clothes made of wool or silk flatly.

 

In machine

• Dry at moderate temperature.
• Avoid overloading the linen in order to avoid creases.
• Remove from the dryer at the end of the cycle.

 

Ironing

 

• Adapt the temperature of the iron according to the material (refer to the care labels).
• For best results, iron laundry while it is still slightly damp.
• Iron inside out to avoid any bleaching, buffing and to protect embroideries.
• Apply a cloth between the iron and the fabric for the most delicate fabrics.
• For a fresh and fragrant linen, iron the fabric by moistening it with scented laundry water.

Not all cottons are created equal. Aigredoux has the privilege of accessing Giza 45 cotton, one of the best cottons in the world, in the manufacturing of its high-end household linen.

 

Where does Giza 45 cotton come from ?

The precious Giza 45 cotton is an Egyptian cotton. It bears the name of the village where this variety of cotton originates.

It is grown on the banks of the Nile in a highly fertile zone, with its ideal climatic conditions that bestow the cotton’s reputation for excellence.

Its production compromises less than 0.5% of world cotton production, which is why it is so rare and exclusive. It ranks as the finest long-staple cotton in the world.

 

Characteristics of Giza 45 cotton

 

Natural qualities

Also known as the “Queen of Cotton”, this natural fiber has unparalleled thermal powers. Its insulating qualities offer breathability both during the summer and winter.

 

Durability

Why is Giza 45 cotton reputed to be one of the strongest cottons in the world?

It offers :

• Remarkable wear resistance thanks to its fiber length and impeccable uniformity,
• Much higher durability than traditional cotton,
• Excellent resistance to tearing and friction,
• Better dimensional stability.

 

Softness and shine

Aigredoux offers its customers the choice to use Giza 45 cotton for their linen orders, giving life to fabrics of exceptional quality and softness.

Giza 45 cotton’s long fibers have an indisputably soft and silky feel. The finer a textile fiber is, the softer it tends to be.

Its unique radiance is due to its incredible sophistication. Its unique fiber captures light more easily than traditional cottons, therefore its colors remain vibrant wash after wash.

 

Maintenance advice 

How to maintain the superior quality of Giza 45 cotton?

• Machine wash,
• Air dry to avoid wrinkling,
• Avoid too long of exposure to the sun or light, as cotton yellows,
• Iron at medium temperature.

How to choose one’s tablecloth ?

 

 

 

As the central element of a table, the tablecloth has a dual purpose. As both a guardian against stains, and revealer of the beauty of the table, it gives life to the decoration of a dining room, living space, or of the kitchen…

We highlight 2 criteria to account for when choosing a tablecloth: its use and its shape.

 

 

 

Its use

For each utility, its tablecloth.

Choosing a tablecloth involves taking into account functional and aesthetic criteria.

For example, we favor resistant and practical materials for kitchen or garden tablecloth maintenance. Conversely, we dare to use more sophisticated fabrics and delicate finishes for living room tablecloths.

 

Its shape

Whether round, square, oval or rectangular, the tablecloth must be large enough to cover the table and drape it harmoniously.

It is necessary to account for an average fallout of 30 cm.

Aigredoux adapts to the shape and dimensions of each table to create a made-to-measure tablecloth.

 

Creating an exceptional party table

 

A true masterpiece, the preparation of the Christmas table is in itself an art and part of pure French tradition. Aigredoux accompanies its customers in the design of friendly and festive table linen that will contribute to the guests’ culinary experience.

Let every taste do the talking:

• traditional Christmas atmosphere
• sobriety and elegance
• natural themes or polar accents.

 

A wide range of options are possible: from the ladder stitch, to the bumblebee, to the embroidery of initials for guest napkins. Contact the consulting team to find out more.

 

The quality of the bed linen plays a decisive role in your quality of sleep.

 

With noble materials, perfect cuts, top-of-the-line finishes, and artisanal tailoring: Aigredoux promises you a unique sleeping experience. Each bedding set is made to order in the purest French textile tradition; with exceptional materials selected for their long natural fibers, bringing soft and resistant quality.

 

Cotton sateen, cotton percale, linen ... Which material to choose according to the season? Follow the guide and treat yourself to an exceptional bedding set.

 

Spring / summer bed linens

It's the grand return of mild, even scorching nights...

We favor natural materials that let the skin breathe.

 

Cotton percale

Absorbent and silky to the touch, cotton percale is fresh and befittingly popular in the summer months. Its regular and firm weave lends a softer and more resistant fabric than traditional cotton and an incomparable cozy feeling.

Linen

Among the best fabrics to choose from in the summer is linen. Thermoregulatory and highly absorbent, it captures humidity and ensures good air circulation. Its breathability and freshness makes it an essential ally during the summer months.

 

Fall / winter bed linens

The rain, wind and the first frost announce winter and the desire to take refuge in a cozy bed...

 

Cotton sateen

Akin to cotton percale, cotton sateen designates a mode of weaving. Woven tighter and more finely, it is extremely soft and supple. Its satin finish delights lovers of comfort and elegance. It brings both warmth and comfort.

Accessories

 

The colder months are the ideal time to accessorize your bed with the addition of a comforter, throw blanket ...

We tastefully blend cotton and wool for warm and peaceful nights.

Wool is a remarkable, healthy and breathable material with thermoregulatory properties. It protects against the cold without making you sweat. Its elasticity provides unparalleled softness and rebound.

Combined with the softness of cotton and its ventilation properties, this precious blend suits people looking for a high level of comfort.
