THE WINTER ISSUE
That’s why he has expanded the Linen Chest’s offerings of UGG bedding. Founded by an Australian surfer in 1978, the UGG label shot to fame two decades ago for its slipper-like boots, made of sheepskin. Its fashion lines have expanded greatly since then, with many making it to Oprah’s “My Favorite Things” lists.
The Linen Chest carries UGG slippers and robes for adults and children, to which it has added such bedding lines as UGG Hyland, a chic update on a classic plaid flannel duvet cover. Made in Portugal, the 100 per cent cotton fabric features a grey-and-white, subtly specked colour story for a fresh contemporary look. The crisp tailored finish is accented with stylish wooden-button closures.
