Toile French Blue Bed Linen Set

Trimmed with a blue cotton piping, the soft blue hue gives this toile bed linen a classically French feel, and the small scale ditsy reverse gives it a really feminine finish. French Toile is the quintessential bed linen design for a classic French inspired bedroom. The French word 'toile' actually derives from 'Toile de Jouy' and translates as 'story' or 'tale', so a toile design is intended to be a series of drawings that depict a romantic, and often rural or pastoral based tale. In this toile design men and woman dance amongst the trees whilst being serenaded by a man playing a French clarinet as angles fly above. It's a glorious tale of love, and was the perfect antidote to the troublesome times of the mid eighteenth century revolution. Available in sets which comprise a duvet cover and two pillowcases (the single set has just one pillowcase), with additional individual pillowcases also available. Made from 200 thread count 100% pure cotton for a soft, smooth and long lasting fabric. Machine wash at 40 degrees. Also available in French Grey.
