Material world

Crisp white linen and cotton: even the words sound cooling. Which is why these designs by Marika Linen should go down a treat in summer. The items, including bedsheets (above left, king-sized sheet with two pillow covers, HK$2,338), cushion covers (above right, HK$899) and neck-pillow covers (HK$96.50), are handmade and embroidered, which is why delivery typically takes two to four months. Marika Linen is available at Mauriello, 6/F, Yau Shun Building, 50 D'Aguilar Street, Central, tel: 2868 3308.
