Milos and Millesimo 1020 thread count Bedding

 When we first started to sell the Italian made Egyptain cotton SFERRA Milos bed linens it was by accident. At the time, we were scared to even try to sell the $1200.00 Italian bed sheets. All we thought about was what if they were returned or what if they fell apart or were ruined in the first few launderings.  So we waited about 6 months, actually we started to sell them at the requests of our customers. To our delight, and because of the ingenuity of SFERRA, Milos was a best seller in no time.  Milos Egyptian Cotton Italian made 1020 thread count with a hemstitch (open ladder weave) hem far out sold the best sheets in town.  So, Milos became a companion to Millesimo lace inset then came Capri, and a few other patterns Alistair etc. that have now been retired. Milos and Millesimo and Capri remain in the line as the Ne Plus bed linens money can buy.  The bed sheet set now goes for around $1800.00.  Milos was offered in White, Ivory, Honey, Truffle brown and Mist.  Milos was the transitional bed sheet and so worked in with all decor in the bedding fields for a co ordinate sheet.  It was an amazing ride for the luxury markets to try to keep up. You see it was a secret weave and when the batch was ruined in the mills, we were out for 60 to 80 days.  An eternity as it seemed like it was not ever going to be available.  With the times being what they are Milos and Millesimo plus Capri has been narrowed down to just White and Ivory.  If you like the most fussy expensive luxurious , this is your pick.
  If you think that money is never going to stretch that far, you can try a pair of pillow cases for $350.00.  Mixing with another sateen will work because White or Ivory is everywhere.  Of course, the main sheet for feel and comfort will be the fitted sheet.  There you will need a cool $800.00.  Remember, first sheet to go for replacement is that fitted sheet. Pillow cases and Flat sheets last forever as wear and tear is minimal.  Our best customers were the Young need to have the best of the best to the 30 year Wedding anniversary gifts. At that point, customers had maids to do the laundering so we were repeatedly shipping off cases of Le Blanc Linen Wash. This Laundry liquid soap is the one to get and use for all finest quality washable. You will be glad you did as your replacement will be lower and lower.
 Talk about replacements, maybe it was not a good thing to wait the 8 years for a new set. Price of cotton and luxury goods soared the past few years as supply was not being replenished at the consumption rate.  Prices are now much higher than when Milos was introduced.  Our customers are finding it truly difficult to get another set.  So, if you are purchasing a set, make it an extra fitted sheet or extra whatever you usually need to replace. Maybe wait for the seasonal sale from your favorite luxury store. We offer our best customers first pick and choice shipping options carte blanche.  We custom make Milos too (Full size fitted sheets etc)!
