Our Story

At Gilly Nicolson, we work tirelessly to support interior-lovers to create spaces that reflect individuality through bespoke, meticulously crafted linens with a personal, hands-on approach. We believe that luxury is found in the details.

Our passion for individualism and innovation is woven into everything we do, crafting one-of-a-kind designs that reflect the unique stories of our clients. Guided by our Scottish heritage, we are bold innovators, providing a personalised, white-glove service that transforms homes into personal sanctuaries bringing joy, comfort and lasting beauty.

Each piece in our collection is meticulously crafted in Portugal, a country renowned for its rich heritage of textile artistry. We have worked with our mill there since the beginning of our journey. Our commitment to quality is uncompromising, using only the finest materials to ensure every product is as durable as it is exquisite.

Our founder Gilly Ligertwood set up the business in 2007, after working for a similar bespoke business in New Zealand. She was captivated with the magic sewn into every detail and the care and attention given to every product and client. Together with her life-long friend Sally Smith, who leads the Creative Direction of the business, as well as a Design Team in Edinburgh and Production Team in Portugal, we strive to shake up the traditional world of linens through contemporary design and a forward-thinking approach to craftsmanship. Our portfolio now includes award-winning luxury homes, yachts, private jets and ski chalets around the World.

We like to get to know as many of our clients as possible to fully understand their individual needs and tastes. Do contact our studio to discuss your requirements further, we would love to chat.

We create luxurious, personalised textiles that transform personal spaces into sanctuaries of joy and well-being. Our linens have been featured in award-winning luxury interiors and five-star hotels, elevating spaces with our unique, custom approach. We work with prime interior designers who value craftmanship and individuality in their projects.
