Beaufort Narrow Stripe Shortbread Linen Union Swatch
A timeless woven stripe with understated elegance, Beaufort Narrow Stripe in Shortbread combines the soft warmth of Almond with the natural depth of Husk to create a beautifully balanced neutral. Woven in a linen union fabric, the fine alternating stripes introduce gentle movement and texture while maintaining a calm, sophisticated appearance.
The subtle interplay of tone enhances the fabric’s natural slub, giving it an organic character that works effortlessly in both classic and contemporary interiors. Perfectly complimenting curtains, blinds, cushions and light upholstery, Shortbread brings warmth, softness and enduring style to any space.
Linen bed linen has enjoyed something of a renaissance in recent years, but it can be trickier to wash and iron, and can look crumpled very quickly, which is why Reed’s Linen Union sheeting – a clever blend of linen and cotton – is the perfect alternative to pure linen sheets. Linen Union has the beautiful texture of linen, yet is much easier to care for, launder and iron than pure linen bed linen. We were first commissioned to create this bed linen by The Savoy Hotel in London, during a flax shortage that made their usual pure linen bed linen impractical. The resulting sheeting, named Linen Union in a nod to its fusion of flax and cotton, has gone on to become one of our best-selling signature fabrics. Today, as well as the original classic white bed linen ordered by The Savoy, it is available in a range of beautiful pastels, timeless neutrals and contemporary shades to suit every bedroom.
Colour Schemes
Shortbread combines the warmth of Almond with the earthy depth of Husk to create a soft, sun-baked neutral with subtle tonal striping. It layers beautifully with White or Ivory for a fresh, timeless look, while pairing effortlessly with Putty Chambray for a relaxed, contemporary scheme. For greater warmth, combine with Taupe, Dachshund or Tan, or introduce contrast with deeper shades such as Charcoal. Together, these Reed colours create a calm, natural palette that feels both elegant and enduring.
Why choose Linen Union?
This wonderful cloth was designed by Peter Reed in 1983 as an alternative to pure linen sheets for The Savoy Hotel in London. It’s made using a combination of cotton warp yarns and 100% linen weft threads that gives the feel of pure linen, yet it is much easier to iron and more crease resistant. Our Linen Union fabric is a mix of 60% linen sustainably sourced from Belgium and 40% long staple cotton, which offers the luxurious feel of pure linen and the launderability of cotton, as well as plenty of other benefits for your sleep. Linen’s long fibres allow air to circulate through the sheeting, making it exceptionally breathable and ideal if you’re a hot sleeper, or your home is in a warm climate. What’s more, the heat-regulating properties of linen helps keep you cooler during hot weather and warmer on cooler nights. So, sheets containing linen are a fantastic choice for every season.
