When was SFERRA founded and whom was it founded by?

SFERRA was founded in 1891 by entrepreneur Gennaro Sferra, who began in Italy as a purveyor of fine Italian-made lace. Gennaro brought his company to the United States at the turn of the century, traveling up and down the East coast selling his fine Venetian lace cuffs and collars to discerning clientele.

How would you describe the overall vibe of SFERRA products?

SFERRA is renowned for its sumptuous, fine-quality linens. The aesthetic ranges from traditional to contemporary, but is always sophisticated and refined.

Who is SFERRA’s typical customer base?

The SFERRA customer is a well-educated, affluent, middle-aged woman with discerning taste and an appreciation of fine comforts for the home.

What sets SFERRA apart from other luxury linen brands?

SFERRA is known for a variety of good-better-best tiers of percale and sateen bedding, along with sumptuous yarn-dyed woven jacquards and exquisite hand-embroidered bed linens. Simply put, SFERRA uses only the finest of materials.

Tell us a little bit about how SFERRA products are made.

We primarily source extra-long staple Egyptian cotton fibers, creating linens of heirloom quality for the most discerning clientele. Our bed linens are woven by expert craftsmen in Italy, using state-of-the-art technology to spin, dye, and finish each individual yarn to the precise specifications and stringent standards required to create sumptuously soft fabrics. Our finishing process—where the fabric is washed, processed, and finessed to our exacting standards—is guarded as a trade secret.

How has the brand grown since its inception?

SFERRA has been the authority on fine linens for over 120 years. With its beginnings in fine Italian lace, SFERRA has grown to develop and master the production of soft goods for every aspect of the home: bedding, bath, and table.

What’s one fact about SFERRA that consumers should know?

SFERRA was the first company to weave a fine-quality 1020 thread-count sheeting, and the first to introduce Giza 45 Egyptian cotton within bedding. Giza 45 is an exceptional genus of Egyptian cotton producing the finest and strongest cotton yarns, weaving a textile that is exquisitely light and soft, but strong enough to last for years—it had been traditionally used as a luxury men’s shirting fabric before SFERRA debuted it for the home. In the luxury linens marketplace, we are the mavericks and the innovators—we offer sheeting and top-of-bed that no one else has, that no one else knows how to produce. Our best-selling Celeste percale sheets for example—we have one mill in Italy that runs 24/7 producing only that fabric for our bedding… that’s extraordinary!
