In a market full of beautiful bedding, we set out to create something different, ethical luxury bed linens that deliver uncompromising quality while honouring people and the planet. This is the story of how House of March came to be.
The Spark That Started It All
The idea was born in London. While staying at the iconic Savoy Hotel, I experienced bedding so exceptionally soft, crisp, and luxurious that it completely transformed how I thought about sleep. That single night made me realise the profound difference truly great bed linen can make to daily life.
Returning to New Zealand, I began my search for something similar, only to be disappointed. Most luxury options either compromised on ethics or used conventional cotton with concerning environmental and social impacts. As someone who studied Fashion and had always been passionate about responsible textiles, I knew there was a better way.
When I started thinking about growing my own family, the motivation became deeply personal. The discovery that many everyday sheets contained harmful chemicals and pesticides was alarming. I wanted to create organic luxury bed linens that were not only beautiful but genuinely safe for sleeping.
Building a Better Way
In 2022, after months of research, sourcing trips, and countless conversations with suppliers, House of March was officially launched. The goal was clear: to become New Zealand’s leading brand for ethical bedding, one that combined European design with complete integrity.
We made several non-negotiable decisions from day one:
-
- Only the finest GOTS-certified organic cotton - the highest global standard for organic textile production
- A Fairtrade supply chain with the same trusted cotton supplier we have worked with since the very beginning
- Long-staple cotton for superior softness and lasting durability
- Timeless, landscape-inspired designs that suit modern New Zealand homes
What Sets House of March Apart
Our ethical bed linens are designed to get better with time. The fabric starts beautifully soft and develops an even more luxurious hand after every wash. We offer both crisp percale and silky sateen weaves, carefully chosen to deliver the perfect balance of comfort and elegance.
More importantly, every purchase supports responsible farming practices, uses significantly less water than conventional cotton, and ensures farmers receive fair wages and safe working conditions.
Our Promise Moving Forward
Four years on, the mission remains the same: to prove that true luxury doesn’t need to come at the cost of ethics or the environment. We continue to refine our luxury bedding collections while staying deeply committed to transparency and responsible production.
Thank you for joining us on this journey. Every set of organic sheets sold is a step toward a more conscious and beautiful way of sleeping.
