Regency consists of exceptionally detailed weaving, resulting in one of the most luxurious and soft cottons you can find. The material is built strong and durable, and has a
wonderful and natural luminous shine. The Regency design is so very simple and elegant, making it a timeless collection.
This is a Remarkable fabric woven from two threads, or strands, twisted together to make two-ply threads of exceptional quality; a 1020 strand count fabric. This special
twisted double thread imparts greater strength and longevity to the fabric, while maintaining incredible softness.
Genuine Giza 70 Egyptian Cotton
Although nearly every sheet package off the shelf today will say "Egyptian Cotton", you'll notice the percentage is conspicuously missing. The simple fact is that sheeting will be
labelled as "Egyptian Cotton" when the cotton was either grown in Egypt (keeping in mind most cotton grown in Egypt is actually American Uplands Cotton) or by simply blending in one or two percent
genuine Egyptian Cotton species with common American Uplands.
Genuine Italian Fabric
Nearly every fabric we offer from St. Geneve is woven at a mill in Italy which has passed down through several generations. The mill only
weaves fabrics from genuine 100% Giza 70 Egyptian Cotton. Giza 70 is essentially one sub-species of Egyptian Cotton and is considered the best
of all 100+ types of Egyptian Cotton.
About Thread Count
With cotton sheeting the highest possible thread count is just over 400. When a fabric is listed as anything higher than 400, red flags
must go up. This means they are actually quoting strand count and this is not the appropriate method. For example we have sheeting materials
with 600 or 1,015 strand count. Transparency is important to us, and as such we correctly market these as 300 and 380 thread count.
