The delicious linens of Brooklinen




I don’t shout out a lot of products because – one – there are too many damn products and – two – because I don’t get that excited about that many products.

I do however have a major soft spot for linens, especially ones that are majorly soft and – bonus – majorly cool. It’s that double whammy that got me hooked on Brooklinen

They use single-ply, long-staple Egyptian Cotton, sewn on the best finishing machines in the business, making the sheets as soft and smooth and delicious as possible. And they look SO good on the bed. Don’t ask me why. But something about the way they hang makes our bed look super cozy. And it is!

 
This summer they introduced a limited edition of lightweight quilts. They made 100 and sold out in basically an instant. I didn’t get my hands on one. But I have a second chance now. Starting today, August 31, they are releasing a second batch. Hence my post today!

It’ll be another small batch of only 100 of the super soft and equally light handmade quilts. They are 100% organic cotton, fill and shell and are handmade by an artisan couple in India, taking seven full days to make. They are assembled and embroidered by hand in a “kantha,” which is a traditional Indian stitch. The quilts are lovingly named “Graham” and the “Lorimer.”

Brooklinen’s founders, Vicki and Rich, think of them as “an ode to the architecture and design of Amsterdam.” The two made a pilgrimage there last summer for inspiration.  


The pair also make a down pillow. I haven’t checked it out yet. But if they are anything like the sheets, I’m sure they’re dreamy!





Brooklinen is definitely my go-to linen company now. They represent everything I like when it comes to style and quality and feel!












Note: Brooklinen graciously sent me sheets to test out.
