Five Decades. One Standard.
Paul Costelloe was the designer for Princess Diana for 14 years and never once lowered his standard. This collection was his one of his last original projects, carrying the same weight as everything that came before it.
Description
Eight Centuries in the Making
Few manuscripts demanded more of their makers. The Book of Kells is a feat of human patience, every page a dense world of coiled figures and ornamental detail made with total devotion.
That devotion is what this duvet cover is built around. Woven on a jacquard loom, the pattern is constructed thread by thread from within the fabric itself. Not printed. Not applied. It emerges from the weave.
Pure linen softens with every wash and improves with age. The ribbon bow closure is finished by hand, a small detail that takes longer than it should.
It is there because shortcuts were never part of this.
