A Story Woven in Discovery

Let’s take you back to 1992… Born in Africa with an adventurous spirit and a passion for discovery, our founder Bernie de Le Cuona set out to find the world’s finest natural fibres and artisans.

With this vision, Bernie established the company - introducing the world to linens unlike anything seen before: wonderfully soft, beautifully textured, and enriched by a colour palette inspired by Africa’s landscapes.

From Fabric to Lifestyle. From London to New York.

What began as pioneering linen has grown into a global brand defined by refined creativity and authenticity. Today, we are more than fabric: it’s a lifestyle. From showrooms in London and New York to accessories crafted with quiet power, every creation embodies comfort, beauty, and soul.

We are now seeking a UK Senior Sales Manager to carry this story forward - leading our growth across trade, bespoke, and retail while staying true to the artistry and integrity at the heart of everything we do.

This is a role for a leader who thrives at the intersection of creativity and commerce – someone who understands that sales in the luxury design world are built not just on numbers, but on relationships, trust, and the quiet power of impeccable taste.

The Role:

You will define and deliver our sales vision across trade, bespoke (UK & International), and retail markets, ensuring that growth is always in harmony with the integrity of our brand.
