St Leger Charcoal Sateen Swatch

Colour Schemes

St. Leger bed linen in Charcoal feels perfectly at home amongst a modern and masculine palette of black, white and grey. Layer this charcoal-grey bed linen with complementary dark hues, or contrast with white for a crisp, suiting-inspired look. Grey bed linen looks fantastic styled with sleek chrome finishes and glossy dark wood.

Want to add a touch of ‘shirting’ to your pinstripes? St. Leger looks incredibly stylish as a reversible bed linen design. Choose a reverse colour to complement its grey-and-white stripes – a plain dye reverse in charcoal, white or black keeps the look cohesive.

Why choose cotton sateen bed linen?

In 1998, Mark Reed created this beautiful quality sateen bed linen for the North American market, using our original 400 thread count cotton percale sheeting as inspiration. The silky-smooth feel of sateen bed linen, and the way its weave responds to the light to create a lustrous appearance, has become increasingly popular in recent years. Sateen bed linen is more flexible than percale bed linen and can therefore feel warmer – sateen is ideal winter bed linen – and even look less creased, after a night’s use. However, its looser weave and softness also means that it is less durable than crisp cotton percale bed linen, which is worth considering when looking for the most long-lasting bed linen. The weight of this cloth is 125gsm with a ‘Cover Factor’ of 18.8 out of a maximum 28. Cover Factor is a more reliable and transparent measure of quality than ‘thread count’, since it relates to the tightness of the weave.
