Founded in 1861, Peter Reed stands as one of Britain’s most timeless luxury linen houses. With over a century and a half of heritage, the brand remains firmly rooted in traditional craftsmanship, producing some of the world’s finest bed linen.


Established on the foothills of Pendle Hill in Lancashire, Peter Reed’s origins are deeply embedded in British textile history. By 1891, the company had grown to operate one of the second-largest weaving mills in the world and the first in the UK to introduce the automatic loom, marking a pivotal moment in modern manufacturing. Today, the brand continues this legacy as a proud Royal Warrant holder, recognised as Manufacturers of Bed Linen to His Majesty King Charles III.


At the heart of Peter Reed is its in-house manufacturing process, with every piece carefully produced at its Lancashire mill, ensuring complete control over quality, precision, and finish. This fully integrated approach allows the brand to uphold exceptional standards at every stage of production, from raw material to final stitch. Alongside craftsmanship, sustainability remains central to the brand’s ethos, with a focus on responsible sourcing, durable natural fibres, and thoughtful production methods designed to reduce waste and extend product life. These commitments are reinforced through certifications including British Wool, Positive Luxury, and Planet Mark, reflecting a continued dedication to luxury that is both responsible and timeless quality.


Peter Reed continues to expand its presence within the world of luxury interiors and hospitality, partnering with prestigious hotels, interior designers, and globally recognised creatives who share its appreciation for refined quality. Recent collaborations and placements include The Chancery Rosewood, London and Angel at Hetton in Yorkshire, alongside design partnerships with Giles Deacon, Highclere Castle and Saved NY. Each collaboration reflects a shared commitment to craftsmanship, detail, and elevated experiences where linen becomes an essential expression of luxury.


Collections from Peter Reed reflect a modern evolution of its archival designs, reimagined for contemporary living. From the exclusivity of Sea Island Cotton to the delicately embroidered Fleur collection, the brand continues to refine its offering with a balance of heritage and innovation.


Most recently, Peter Reed has transitioned its signature 210 thread count percale to an organic cotton percale, marking a significant step forward in both quality and sustainability while maintaining the brand’s unmistakable sense of understated luxury and the introduction of cashmere and wool blankets, made on the Isle of Bute, bringing the same commitment to craftsmanship, tactility, and refined comfort into considered layers for the home.


Peter Reed continues to define quiet luxury through heritage, craftsmanship, and a commitment to quality.
