Percale

Cool, Elegant & Easy to Care For

Percale is made using especially fine, lightweight yarns. The result is an exceptionally smooth surface: soft, breathable, and luxuriously gentle on the skin.

Percale stands out not only for its naturally cooling effect and refined texture, but also for being low-maintenance and durable. Similar to classic cotton fabrics, but with a more elegant finish.

Compared to satin, percale has a more matte appearance, but it stays smooth, keeps its shape, and remains pleasantly soft for longer.

Percale can be washed at 60 °C without issue. It’s also suitable for tumble drying. For best results, take the bedding out of the dryer while still slightly damp and hang it to air dry. If fully dried in the machine, percale may wrinkle more easily due to its dense weave.
