One touch tells you that this is the "ne plus ultra" of bed linens, unsurpassed cotton sateen. SFERRA chooses only the finest, longest-staple Egyptian cotton, has it spun into gossamer yarn, woven in Italy into luminous sateen that is strong yet supple, sleek yet soft. Finally it's all finished off with a delightful hand that features a classic hemstitched border, woven to 1020 threads per square inch.
