It’s borderline lazy to say denim is trending — the heavy cotton has been pretty perennial since Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis patented it in 1873. But with the arrival of Beyoncé’s debut country album, Cowboy Carter, and its accompanying blue-jean visual language (sanctified by “it” girls like Bella Hadid and a sudden renaissance of equine-centric brand Ralph Lauren), it's safe to say the material's having a moment. Still, we didn’t exactly expect it to show up in the best bedding sets.
And yet: denim bedding. As in, “denim” (gently-faded chambray linens and blue-tinged cotton blends meant to mimic vintage Levi’s) and, quite literally, denim — often, patchworked, upcycled pieces made from real jeans. Rentrayage’s pillowcase, for instance, is stitched from repurposed denim and backed in linen for softness — a textile contradiction that somehow works.
