  • Our History | St Genève Bed Linens Made in Canada

    https://static.wixstatic.com/media/2c12fa_827673c55b2247319feb128cc0a4c1c5%7Emv2.jpg OUR HISTORY DAISY TAYLOR circa1920 GENERATIONS OF PASSION In 1988, Michael and Annette de la Place founded St Genève, each infusing the brand with their unique perspectives and family traditions. Michael’s grandmother, Daisy Taylor, designed stunning hats in the 1920s. She would gather inspiration during her travels to Paris. Twice a year she would sit in cafés on the Champs-Élysées, studying people strolling by. She would sketch hat designs that later would captivate the discerning gentry of London. Michael inherited her profound passion for textiles, an unwavering commitment to quality, and the drive to continually create. Now with more than 50 years in the industry, his legacy extends beyond personal success and expertise, having elevated the quality standard of the Canadian industry during his 20-year tenure as president of Downmark. Annette drew inspiration from her Danish parents. Her father was a bespoke tailor whose clientele included luminaries like Lawren Harris, Canada’s preeminent artist. At St Genève we give a nod to timeless elegance by using her father’s sewing machine to craft special items. Annette’s mother bestowed on us a Scandinavian tradition - where the parents of the bride would gift to the newlyweds a bespoke down duvet made on their farms. A coin sewn within symbolizes wishes for prosperity and health. This tradition endures at St Genève as we extend heartfelt blessings of good luck and happiness to our clients by sewing a coin into each duvet. Annette is today the President of St Genève. Together with Michael, they practice their philosophy of superb quality, all within the spirit of a small workshop. Today at St Genève many of the dedicated team members have been here for decades. Together with new talent, they have built a world-class reputation of unparalleled mastery, attention to detail, and commitment to education and sustainable practices. At St Genève, each thread woven into our narrative tells a story of passion, craftsmanship and an enduring pledge to create a legacy of luxury and comfort, that transcends generations.

  • Bed Linen Care | St Genève

    With proper care and laundering, fine linens will last you for years. Learn how to wash linen, cotton, silk, cashmere, and more. BED LINEN CARE COTTON CARE DAILY CARE Fine bed linens are like a fine wine: they improve with age. As they are used, your St. Genève fine bed linens will improve in softness and comfort, unlike basic linens that are worse for wear. This process can take 8-10 launderings, after which they will be soft, smooth and naturally wrinkle-resistant. Natural fibers, like those used at St Genève, are not fussy, but do require proper care. Follow these simple tips to get the most years and enjoyment from your fine bed linens. We recommend washing your sheets once per week. Rotate your sheets. By letting your sheets ‘rest’ in between uses you will greatly extend the life of both sets, in addition to making laundry day a little easier! WASHING Avoid overcrowding your linens in the wash. Ensure your washing machine allows ample space for your fabrics, taking into account the size of your bedding. Make sure there is enough water in the cycle. Many washing machines are water-saving, which causes added friction on the bed linens. Use maximum water settings. Use very little detergent. Too much detergent may not rinse out completely and will cause buildup. Do not use fabric softener, bleach, or detergents with bleach, whiteners, or alkaline detergents. DRYING Space out your bed linens. Dry only a single sheet set or a duvet cover with shams at one time. Do not use hot settings, use medium-temperature for washing and drying. Do not over dry. 100% LINEN CARE WASHING Launder whites, colours, and prints separately. White linen may be washed hot, and coloured linens should be washed at medium temperatures. Spin to extract excess water, and stretch damp articles to their natural size and shape before ironing. DRYING Tumble dry on low or line dry linen. For a softer, less crisp feel, remove from dryer while damp and hang to dry fully. WOOL AND CASHMERE CARE DAILY CARE Keep wool and cashmere fresh and avoid unnecessary laundering by steaming in between washes. Do not iron as this may crush or flatten the natural pile of the yarns, steam instead. Don’t worry about pilling: it may occur and has nothing to do with the quality of the product. It can be removed with a cashmere comb. The fibers should settle after the first couple launderings. WASHING If possible, turn items inside out when laundering. Choose the gentlest cycle possible or wash by hand. Use maximum water setting possible. Do not use detergents that contain dyes or other harsh enzymes. Don’t use a fabric softener as it will coat the cashmere fibers and cause excessive pilling. DRYING Air dry by laying it flat rather than tossing it in the dryer. Store in a breathable container with cedar chips or anti-moth sachets to prevent moths and mustiness. Don’t hang on the clothesline as this can stretch and warp the shape of your bed linen. SILK CARE DAILY CARE Silk is so smooth that it actually sheds dirt and stays clean longer, so you don’t need to launder it as often as other fabrics. The reason that silk is so strong and light is that it is made of protein, just like you. And, just like you, it is sensitive to harsh cleansers. If you wouldn’t use it on your skin, don’t use it on your silk. Do not allow silk to become heavily soiled. Silk can be weakened by perspiration and perspiration stains are almost impossible to remove. Keep your silk out of direct sunlight. Keep your silk away from perfumes, hairspray, nail polish remover, and deodorants, which can dissolve silk. WASHING Silk is best washed with a pure, gentle soap. In fact, hair shampoo makes an ideal detergent for silk. Use just a little, on your washing machine’s gentle cycle and medium temperatures (not hot or cold). Use the maximum water level. Wash and rinse at the same temperature. Do not wring. Only use a specialty detergent if it is formulated for silk. Do not bleach, or use any detergent that contains bleach. Do not use brighteners, fabric softeners, pre-soak products, inexpensive detergents, enzyme detergents or Alkaline detergents. Refrain from using specialty soaps such as ‘Lovelast’ are formulated for other fabrics and will often eat silk. DRYING When drying, use medium temperatures and select the gentle cycle on your dryer. Remove before it is completely dry and air dry the remainder. For garments and small bed linen items, such as pillowcases, it is wise to turn them inside out and use a large lingerie bag. If pressing is desired, press inside-out on medium temperatures. Do not wring. DOWN DUVET CARE learn more BATH LINEN CARE learn more DOWN PILLOW CARE learn more

  • Down Pillow Care | St Genève

    Learn how to properly wash and dry your down or feather pillows. The first step is to make sure you are using both a pillowcase and a pillow protector. PILLOW CARE DAILY CARE The first step in caring for your down pillows is to make sure you are using both a pillowcase and a pillow protector. Launder your case and protector frequently – we suggest weekly. Doing this makes your pillow a low maintenance piece of bedding that will last for years; it will only need to be washed if it appears to be soiled. Fluff your pillow daily. When your pillow loses firmness it may be time to wash it. To see if it's time to wash your pillow fold it in half, if it stays folded or opens slowly it's time to clean it. As your pillow ages it will get softer. If you find your pillow is no longer comfortable even after washing it's likely time to replace it. St Genève down pillows are machine washable and come with the Superwash Certification. If you are washing a pillow from another brand, be sure to check the care instructions before laundering. WASHING Before washing your pillows, be sure to check them for any tears that may allow the down to spill out. If you find a rip, repair the pillow or place it in a pillow protector for washing. Use a mild detergent. We recommend Tide Free and Gentle, which is hypoallergenic and without dyes or perfumes. Wash your pillows in a front-loading washing machine. If you do not have one, head to a laundromat or a friend’s house. In a top-loading machine, pillows will float to the top and will not be washed thoroughly. Second, the agitator may damage the pillows. Wash two pillows at a time for better balance in your machine. Use a delicate cycle with warm water or hot water. Warm water will wash away allergens, but will not kill dust mites. If this is a concern for you, you can use hot water to wash your pillows – just not too often! Run an extra full wash and rinse with no detergent; this will help to make sure that any residues from your detergent are rinsed out and to expel any excess water. Residues from detergents can cause deterioration to the fabric and can ‘gunk up’ the fibers in your down. DRYING Squish out excess water using a towel; do not wring or twist your pillows. Dry them on the delicate cycle, start with medium heat then move to low as the pillow dries. Because of how thick pillows are, you may need two or three cycles. Add dryer balls or clean tennis balls to help fluff the pillow as it dries. In between cycles, pull out the pillow and feel it. If you find that any large clumps are forming, you can shake it or use your fingers to break up the clumps. Be sure to dry completely before use. If you feel any damp spots (they may register as cool spots in the pillow), your pillow is not dry. Using a damp pillow could lead to mildew and shorten the life of your pillow.

  • Iconic | St Genève Bed Linens Made in Canada

    https://static.wixstatic.com/media/2c12fa_827673c55b2247319feb128cc0a4c1c5%7Emv2.jpg WELCOME ICONIC GENTLEMEN Vista | Jacquard, 100% Cotton You drive the best car, live in the best neighborhoods, rock the best suits – you should be sleeping with the best, too. Curate a restful and luxurious sleep experience so you can perform at the highest level in all of your endeavors. BED LINENS 101: A QUICK GUIDE FOR UPGRADING YOUR SHEETS WHAT KIND OF FABRIC IS BEST? Choosing the right type of fabric for your bed linens is a personal choice – there is such thing as the definitive ‘right choice’ (although there are some ‘wrong choices’, more on that later). If you’re new to the world of bedroom textiles, we recommend selecting sheets woven from high-quality cotton. Cotton is a versatile natural fiber, prized for its breathability. Notice that we specified high quality cotton: cotton is available in a range of qualities, both superb and dismal. The rule of thumb for cotton used to be that Egyptian cotton was the best. Due to widespread fraud over the last decade, this is no longer the case. We recommend you look for long or extra-long staple cotton, as this is an objective way to measure cotton quality. A long fiber length allows the cotton to be spun into a soft, supple, fine thread for weaving exquisite textiles. You can also explore silk, linen, wool, modal, and more. We recommend steering clear of Bamboo sheets (rayon with better PR) and polyester. These synthetic fibers lack the breathability and quality of natural fibers. THREAD COUNT Thread Count is often thought of as the definitive way to gauge the quality of bed linens. In reality, the staple length is the best gauge of quality. We have seen inexpensive 900 thread count fabrics that, upon closer inspection, were woven from tightly spun short staple cotton. The ending result was stiff, uncomfortable fabric that degraded quickly with use. On the flip side, you can have beautiful textiles that rank at 200-300 thread count, as long as they are woven from long or extra-long staple cottons. Bed linens made from these fabrics will retain their softness and durability over years’ of use. SATEEN OR PERCALE The two most common options are sateen and percale. Both are woven from cotton, so how to choose? SATEEN Sateen is woven to be exceptionally soft and drape close to the skin, which warms you more quickly. CHOOSE SATEEN IF: You want an almost silky feel to your sheets You sleep cold and want your bedding to be as warming as possible Left: Flora Giza 45, Right: Capri Duo 90 Colours PERCALE Percale has a cool, crisp feel. Because of its weave, it is also a bit more durable than sateens and may be ideal for those with pets. CHOOSE PERCALE IF: You want a crisp 5-Star Hotel experience every night You sleep warm and want your bedding to feel cool You have pets – percale is a tighter, more durable weave that will hold up better to repeat launderings or little paws Left: Nico Organic Percale, Right: Hotel Roma Percale ENHANCE YOUR SLEEP BY INVESTING IN A LUXURY SLEEP EXPERIENCE IT BEGINS WITH BESPOKE BED LINENS, HAND-CRAFTED IN BRITISH COLUMBIA FROM THE WORLD’S FINEST TEXTILES.
