In The Press March 2011

This month Cologne & Cotton were featured in a beautiful double page spread in the Marylebone Journal.  We liked the copy so much, we thought we’d include it here: ‘Modern constructions are all very well, but nothing says comfort like a good old-fashioned blanket – or, to be precise, a blue and white houndstooth throw. Inspired by grandma and made by Cologne and Cotton, this covetable collection of coverings offers a welcome respite from cold modernism.  When it first opened 20 years ago, Cologne and Cotton was one of the only pure cotton purveyors on the high street, and the enduring popularity of its hero product, vintage bed linen, is testament to the family firm’s commitment to quality – not to mention good taste. Each design is an exercise in less-is-more chic – the hotel stripe bed linen being a very classic example – and is created with a view to being comfortable, warm and soft, like a pure lambswool blanket. Even the candles are hand-made, using fragrances such as jasmine and the mysterious sounding winter palace. All in all, a forage in this Canaan of cozy seems the perfect cure for that February feeling – especially if, like ours, your heart secretly belongs in an Austenesque manor in the 19th century.’

Other press inclusions were the ever popular Red Heart throw in the Evening Standard, the spotty throw in the English Home ‘Little Luxuries’ feature, pale pink tablecloth in the Ideal Home and white fringed towels in the House & Garden. Cote Bastide bath foam was included in House Beautiful, along with a gorgeous image that shows how our designs can be mixed and matched.
