It all began in 1981. Gennaro Sferra set a new high standard for luxury linens when he opened his factory in Venice, Italy. Today, the tradition lives on. Sferra is known for it's wholly diverse collection of fine quality linens. Italian and Western European textile masters apply state of the art technology to spin, dry, and finish each individual yarn to the precise specifications and stringent standards required to create fabrics of distinction. Most of these sheets feature long-staple Egyptian cotton, as well as inspired and refined hemstitching that provides a perfect touch of understated elegance. They come available in a variety of different colors, finishes, and thread counts. Product lines such as Kelly Wearstler complement Sferra's primary product line to provide additional style choices. Custom sizes and options are sometimes available by special order.
