hey taylor,
seems like no one really knows about sheets here. anyways, 2 months ago I did my sheets/comforter shopping and settled on a brand called "frette." its an Italian brand and it makes some if not the best linen in the world.
I bought a queen sized sheets set $1980, a blanket cover (duvet) $1980, and a thinnish throw kinda like summer blanket made of silk $4,000. luckily for me, they were having 50% off during that time and I got all of them for half the price. still expensive tho
Their thread counts are high, i forgot how much, and they are made of sateen. not satin. it feels very soft. its something like a mix of fine cotton with somethin i'm not sure. but its obviously top of the line.
a lot of the best hotels in the world, like the peninsula in hong kong, use frette stuff. you said you want the best stuff and this is what i would recommend cuz i had the same mentality as you. btw, the blanket would be another $1980 and as far as I know they never go on sale.
Frette has retail stores in limited places and I'm lucky enough to live in organe county. check out their website at
www.frette.com ... just don't get their hotel collection as those are made for regular consumers who want frette but cannto afford the premium price. also check out their towels they are absolutely amazing.
pm me if you have any questions
i just saw this one!! this one came out this season after I bought mine. looks super nice!
