10 Easy Pieces: Bedding in Shirting Stripes
The stripes gathered here owe more to the shirtmaker than to traditional mattress ticking. Think of Charvet, the Paris institution founded in 1838, and its near-infinite variations on cotton shirting: pencil lines, balanced bands, and unexpected combinations of color. Today’s bedding makers have adapted that vocabulary to crisp cotton percale. Here, 10 sets with the orderly appeal of a well-made shirt.
