We are now spanning our third century and have evolved a British heritage brand into a world renown brand with a refreshingly forward-thinking ethos. Our richly woven tale can be felt in every piece of made-to-order linen that bears our family name, and most recently our gorgeous new signature gift boxes.
Our story is interwoven with the history of cotton production in Britain and beyond, from our beginnings in Lancashire, England, where our ancestors founded their namesake cotton mill in 1852 to present day London, and our dedicated team who keep striving for excellence.
Much has changed over the decades, yet the current generation’s commitment to making the world’s most beautiful, high quality and long-lasting bed and table linens remains strong. Reed Family Linen is timeless, designed to be enjoyed every day and for many years to come. We wanted our packaging to imbue this sense of history, but also reflect our brands modernity and colourful bold linen designs.
Our family heraldic crest tells the story of our involvement in the Lancashire cotton industry from the very beginning. Our beloved crest was awarded to us by the College of Arms in London and was the inspiration for our new packaging design. Elements like the Moorhen, red rose of Lancaster and the humble cotton ball were re imagined and brought to life with colours reminiscent of an English Summer meadow.
Trying a new product may often be an impulsive decision on our part, but even in that instant, there is a certain amount of evaluation and selection before we ‘add to cart’. We, the consumer perceives product packaging as the gateway to the product itself, if it’s a product that we’ve used and enjoyed before, we may not pay as much attention to the packaging, but if it’s a new or different product, we experience the packaging entirely differently.
It needs to excite or reassure us, intrigue us, and stand up to the quality of the item we are purchasing. Our goal was to incorporate our family crest to reflect our heritage, history and quality and then add a playful colour palette that balanced tradition and a sense of lighthearted fun.
Our branding has always been strong in gravitas and rich in heritage. It had slightly dated over the decades, and we wanted to inject freshness and ensure that our branding and especially our gift boxes conveyed our commitment to detail and the passion we have for our brand.
The challenge was to reflect our unique linen designs, modernity and sustainability more accurately, whilst still underpinning it all with our history and craftsmanship.

Mindfulness practitioners point out that when you give yourself a gift, you get the mental health and emotional benefit of being both the giver and the receiver. You are reenforcing a narrative that you matter. Treating yourself like you are essential is good for your mental health and it’s okay to occasionally put yourself first and buy something that resonates with your unique needs.
You can gift yourself with a morning off, a warm bubble bath that you could easily tell yourself you ‘don’t have time for’ or good linens because you appreciate that your sleep health is vitally important.
Happy Spoiling,
Karen Reed
