Natural colours from plant dyes

To create Bella Donna PURE in 100% cotton, we worked hard with our partners, experimented on the knitting machines, tested the dyes and checked the results against our high standards of quality and longevity.

The result is a beautifully stretchy fabric with an exceptional fit and pure, honest colours derived from genuine natural dyes.

Transparent supply chain
from India to Germany

We produce our textiles in Germany with high social, labour and environmental standards. For Bella Donna PURE, we can trace our supply chain all the way back to the seed.

• GMO-free seed
• cotton cultivation: fair, environmentally friendly, and economically viable (Organic Cotton in India partnership initiative)
• approximately 76% value creation in Germany: MADE IN GERMANY.

Natural dyeing with plant dyes

Colour is at the heart of everything we do. We have now taken the next step by championing the use of natural plant dyes and continuing our mission to produce exceptional quality with high social and environmental standards.

The PURE dyeing process

  • Gentle bleaching process with hydrogen peroxide
  • 100% renewable, biodegradable dyes
  • Derived from plant sources, e.g. common madder plant and bluewood tree
  • No petrochemicals
  • No mordants or heavy metals
  • Refined with natural aloe vera and argan oil

Natural dyes – genuine and honest

Some companies are already advertising their textiles as being dyed with natural dyes. Unfortunately, many still use mordants to fix the natural dyes in the fabric and achieve vibrant colours. In cooperation with our trusted textile finishing partner, we have opted for a clean dyeing process for Bella Donna PURE, without the use of such chemicals.

The result is three beautiful and subtle colours with excellent colour fastness. This gentle and natural way of dyeing only allows for a limited range of colours at present. However, we will continue optimising our process and hope to introduce more Bella Donna PURE colours soon.

Who is Bella Donna PURE for?

For people who wish to sleep on 100% pure cotton, ...

.... but still want exceptionally long-lasting quality that is MADE IN GERMANY.

.... and enjoy the comfort of a soft jersey fitted sheet as opposed to a woven sheet.

.... and want their sleep environment to be as natural as possible.

.... and really appreciate our use of authentic, honest and clean natural dyes.

Which means superlative quality:

  • Not all cotton is the same

     

    Supercombed, long staple cotton is used to produce exceptionally fine and even cotton yarn. When two of these threads are twisted together, you get a particularly tear-resistant, hard-wearing twisted yarn. Gassing, which uses a flame to remove protruding fibres, makes the yarn even more uniform and removes the any final ends.
    No protruding fibre ends prevents pilling.

     

     


    Pilling does not occur in Bella Donna PURE.

  • Maximum stretch cotton jersey

    Thanks to special knitting settings, Bella Donna PURE has round knitted loops that are plump and pearly.
    By using a larger amount of yarn (even more twisted yarn than in our Bella Donna Jersey) and a looser knitting technique, the loops are knitted more voluminously, giving them more air and space. The result is a beautifully stretchy single jersey fabric without elastane that moulds to your mattress.

     

     


    Pearly, voluminous loops for extra supple softness

  • Very good fit

     

    The special knitting technique and perfect tailoring result in the excellent fit of Bella Donna PURE. Thanks to the robust, all-round elasticated edge, the sides of the fitted sheet stay where they belong: under the mattress.
    Unlike Bella Donna Jersey, the fit is not crease-free. This can only be achieved using elastane. Bella Donna PURE will lie in soft waves on your mattress when you get out of bed in the morning.

     

     


    Beautiful movement against the mattress

  • Opaque, cool, beautifully heavy

    Bella Donna PURE feels like a combination of knitted jersey and woven fabric. The pearly surface is cool and firm, reminiscent of a beautiful linen weave. But thanks to the voluminous, interwoven knitted loops, the fabric is soft and supple, hugging the mattress and yielding under the body.
    The high quality and longevity of this fabric is tangible, thanks to the use of larger amounts of yarn and the resulting heavier weight of the fabric.

     

    You can feel the quality of PURE in your hands

TIP

We recommend you wash your sheet before first use. Not only is it more hygienic, it also creates our perfect fit, as all knitted fabrics shrink the very first time they’re washed. The degree of initial shrinkage has been carefully calculated in all our patterns.

Finally, thanks to a thick elasticated border, the edges of our fitted sheets always stay where they belong. Under the mattress.

Finest materials, naturally tested and certified

We source our yarns and twists from selected yarn dealers in Germany, meeting the highest quality standards in terms of durability, feel and appearance. The yarns for our jersey fabrics are knitted, dyed and finished in Germany. Approximately 92% of our products are made up within a radius of 90 kilometres from our site in Löffingen. A small but significant proportion (8%) goes to a family business in Poland.

It goes without saying that our products are tested for harmful substances and certified by OEKO-TEX® Service GmbH.

Certified according to OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100, 97.0.7666, Institut Hohenstein

The Organic Cotton in India partnership initiative

Thanks to our participation in the initiative from the ‘Alliance for Sustainable Textiles’, we have finally found a source of sustainable cotton in the high quality we require. Pure cotton is still in the organic conversion process. But beyond the initiative, we are aiming for a long-term partnership with the Indian small farmers’ cooperative and certification for organic cotton in the near future.

ClimatePartner certification – our contribution to climate protection

Since 2019 we have been working with ClimatePartner AG and supporting climate protection projects worldwide. In response to understandable public criticism of the lack of standardised guidelines around  green claims and the resulting risk of greenwashing, ClimatePartner AG has come up with a new label – one that is transparent, far-reaching and guided by binding reduction targets.  We have been using this new assessment process since 2023: We have completed the 5 steps for successful climate protection in cooperation with ClimatePartner and have received ClimatePartner certification for our company and our products.

Slow: consume with appreciation

High-quality, long-lasting bedroom textiles – that’s what the Formesse brand is all about. We see our company philosophy confirmed in the SLOW movement: We support a more appreciative, decelerated consumption of high-quality products with a much longer lifespan. In other words: We make the opposite of fast fashion, which prioritises offering the latest, constantly changing fashion trends in mostly poor quality and at the lowest possible price. 

We offer you premium quality – Made in Germany – that stands the test of time. SLOW.

Easy to change

Especially when it comes to larger bed sizes with a width of 160 cm or more, you’re often faced with the problem: "Which is the longer side and which is the shorter side?"
All our Bella Donna Jersey fitted sheets come with a care label, which also shows the size. The ‘clever corner’ with the label is designed to fit over the top right or bottom left corner of the mattress.     

Find the clever corner – and your sheet fits perfectly first time.
