So called ‘Oxford’ pillowcases made with a decorative flange all around the pillow sack were originally conceived in order to make pillows, and hence beds, look larger and so impress visiting overnight guests with the host’s generous hospitality. Traditional mitred oxford pillowcases are sewn from three distinct pieces of engineered fabric, and the corners of the flange created with four true mitred corners. The stiffness resulting from the cumulative layers of cloth at the corners of the flange, ensures that the flange supports itself when the pillow is displayed and creates an attractive and tailored look to the bed. Sewing of mitred flanges requires skilful machining and cutting during production, and is accordingly expensive to produce. Less expensive oxford pillowcases are offered without mitred corners, and are termed ‘Mock’ oxfords. All Reed Family Linen oxford pillowcases are sewn with fully mitred oxford flanges unless otherwise specified.

Reed Family Linen are proud to have been founder suppliers of The Conran Shop in London (1987) and Paris (1992), and have sold bed linen to these retailers continuously over the last twenty years. The linen designs which RFL make exclusively for Conran have also been exported to the Far East through their two Japanese store subsidiaries in Tokyo and Fukuoka. In addition to our standard bleached white and natural unbleached ranges, their Japan outlets have also successfully sold the ‘Dots’ hand embroidered design in honey on white colourway. More recently, a hotel ‘bed in a box’ type product has been added to the stocked range and presented in an acetate boxed package.
