The now infamous Pratesi brand was grown from a love story; in 19th century Italy, Remigio Pratesi decided to make some exquisite linens for a beautiful woman in his village, to impress her. He spent two years attending to painstaking detail, and she would marry him a year later. The rest, is history... By 1896, Remigio sold his linens from the magical Tuscan countryside directly to the royal families of that time, and the company was officially born in 1906. Today, the company is run by the fourth generation of the Pratesi family, who continue to work tirelessly to achieve the perfect balance between creativity, quality and technology. For decades now, the brand has achieved status worldwide as a status symbol itself, covering the beds of the world’s rich and famous. Quality begins with Pratesi’s choice of raw materials. Cotton is purchased from a remote area in southern Egypt. Because Pratesi holds the oldest contracts in the region, they are able to be ultra-selective; only the first spinning is purchased. The result is a very, very long thread, which is eventually woven into linens that are angelically soft and luxurious.
