Get Into Bed with Ralph Lauren!!!
I was at Macy’s a few weeks ago, for an afternoon of shopping with a good friend. As you may recall from my previous articles, I have a slight obsession for designer bed sheets. I know it sounds crazy, but I don’t have time to explain here and now. Let’s get back to my story. So we were shopping at Macy’s, and I just had to look at their bedding section. It was there that I discovered some of the nicest bed sheets I have ever seen.
Ralph Lauren has been a famous designer for many years, and in recent years his company has branched out into a complete line of furnishings for your home. I don’t know why I didn’t bother to check these out sooner. I have always been a fan of Ralph Lauren’s Polo line, but it never occurred to me to check out his line of sheets and bedding. I had no idea what I was missing.
I was immediately taken with the Hope Chest line of bedding. The name of this distinctive line of sheets should tell you something about them. They are inspired by the vintage materials you might find in your grandmother’s house. These are stunningly crisp white sheets, with borders stitched with delicate white embroidery. I particularly like the duvet cover that is part of this collection, which features intricate hemstitching and a wonderful floral lace motif.
I also fell completely in love with the Greycliff collection. It evokes a classic style in the equestrian tradition with the use of Highland tartans, intricate paisley, and a subtle gun-check plaid. These gorgeous designs are set against crisp, white trousseau linens. The sheets have a thread count of 370, and are crafted from fine cotton sateen. The blanket, in gun-check plaid, adds a subtle contrast with the tartan pattern of the bed sheets. It is also made from 100% wool, for added warmth on those cold winter nights.
As I tend to be a rather impulsive shopper, especially when it comes to bedding, I decided to go for a coffee and mull it over. As my friend and I chatted over a steaming cup of Joe, I found myself daydreaming about the Greycliff collection. I just couldn’t keep myself from thinking about them! I have to wonder if this is beginning to be a problem. I thought about my family coming to visit next month from Scotland, and I was sure they would love them, too. I was standing in the check-out a few minutes laterwith both sets.
