Divine Divan Divas Take Note 

As we spend a total of a third of our lives in bed it is amazing what we will put up with when it comes to bedding, more Blackpool B&B than 5 five star hotel. We have all heard the horror stories of the potential new boyfriend, with whom all was going swimmingly until his superman duvet cover came to light.

La Lopez, a girl who knows a thing or two about luxury famously, and allegedly, insists on minimum 200 thread count Egyptian cotton wherever she stays. This divan diva should encounter few problems as most of the world’s more prestigious hotels check in at above this; The Paramount (300), The Ritz Carlton (300), The Hudson (300), The Algonquin (350), The Mondrian (350), and The Sanderson (450) to name but a few. The joy of a stay in such an establishment is the anticipation of the silky, white sheets.

250 thread count has been widely available for a while, however, Roullier White is proud to announce the arrival of its new range of A-list 800 thread count Egyptian cotton bed-linen. Slipping into 800 thread count cotton is an experience like no other, it is literally like sleeping on fine satin, it is so soft you will never want to get out of bed and even good quality cotton will feel like sandpaper in comparison.

At £75 for a double sheet, this can be seen as an investment however we suggest that you treat yourself but remember once you do, there is no going back. It is a slippery slope in slumber Shangri-la. 


800 Thread Count Egyptian Cotton Linen at Roullier White's London Store, Roullier White, 125 Lordship Lane, East Dulwich London, SE22 8HU or on line at Roullier White's webstore www.roullierwhite.com

The Holy Trinity: Perfumes Made by Monks

The rarefied aura that surrounds fragrance dates back to the remotest times of antiquity, when incense and fragrant oils would be offered up to the gods and deities of the ancient world. The Arab world is credited with introducing modern perfumery to the West, having preserved the ancient arts of distillation, evaporation, and filtration that had been lost to Christian society, and in turn heralding great advancements not only in the field of fragrance but of chemistry and science too. In passing this tradition on, Christian monks began to adopt the practice of creating fragrances as an expression of faith, before eventually the art form became available to the wider public, for a price. Today, most perfume is manufactured on a grand commercial scale; a far cry from the artisanal monastic traditions that gave birth to modern fragrance! However, some perfume houses still survive from this bygone age and serve to remind us of our industry’s history while continui

Bâtard Folding Picnic Knife by Lamson & Goodnow

As author of The Best Bread Ever; Charles Van Over is expected to show everywhere up with an armful of bread. Whilst Charles enjoys breaking bread with friends; he does insist that the bread is properly sliced with a breadknife, not just ripped apart. The problem here is that bread knives are very long and with their serrated edges they are not the easiest of things to carry around. Charles wondered why a folding bread knife could not be produced and took his idea for a pocket bread knife to Lamson & Goodnow, American manufacturers of the LamsonSharp range. The Bâtard Folding Picnic knife is the result of this collaboration. At Roullier White we believe this may possibly be the best picnic knife ever made. The French word bâtard – and yes it does translate how you think it does – is a shorter and thicker type of baguette. The knife, of course, will cut everything including cheese, fruit, vegetables and as you cannot have a picnic without wine it also has an integral corkscrew. Rou
