Giza 45 TrinaEuro Shamview image in Whitesateen weave w/inset lace along miniflange26" x 26"Along the hot, dry desert of the Sahara, the Nile has created an oasis that enjoys extraordinary weather conditions. The two extremes combine to create ideal conditions for growing the world's best cotton - referred to as Giza cotton. All Giza cotton is assigned a number - the smaller the number the longer the staple and finer the thread. Many of the finest cotton sheets on the market are woven from Giza 70 cotton. Traditionally only seen in the finest men's shirts, Giza 45 cotton is exactly what makes Sferra's Giza 45 collection stand out from the pack. It is grown in a region named Kafir S'AD, responsible for 0.4% of the world's cotton production. The thread is so fine that introducing the Giza 45 collection required two years of research and development. Choose a sateen weave or a percale weave; sateen weaves push as many continuous threads as possible to the sheet surface in attempts to emulate the smooth, lustrous qualities of satin. Percale weaves feature more of a basketweave arrangement to emphasize breathability. Giza 45 sateen collections are quite soft and silky; the percale is soft and airy. Design-wise, choose from solid color sheets in white and ivory, a sateen floral jacquard, a sateen striped dobby weave, and an especially elegant percale collection with lace detail.
