Nakheel, the name of the GOTS-certified organic cotton brand that has come out of Sydney, Australia, is Arabic for Date-Palm tree. The name is significant as the brand embodies the nature of this tree; unhurried, leisurely and with a long life. They're a brand that offer bedding, towels, and lovely, quality blankets for our little ones.
I was impressed with the award-winning brand's quality. Sustainability and environmental impact are important to me, but quality is prized because it means that the bedding will last a long time. It's the type of bedding that our grandparents had for decades; it signals cosiness and longevity.
I was amazed at the beautiful package that turned up at my door from Nakheel. Their values speak volumes because their packages came in sustainable, compostable bags, emphasising that nature and the environment are truly important to them. Inside each package was a carefully presented towel and bed-set. The colours and the quality are beautiful, and I am absolutely in love with the sage green bedding.

Quality. Beauty. Sustainability.
One thing that I look for in a company is quality. I love a luxe feel, but I also need to know that what I buy will last. I know that a quality like Nakheel's means that I won't need to purchase new sheets for a long time. They're made to last. Knowing this, means I will also take the time to nurture them so that they last as long as they're made to.
Less is more. This is true in a world that is living in overconsumption. Quality trumps quantity any day. If something is made with beauty, with a story, we tend to value it more. I love that Nakheel is a family-owned company and based here in Australia. I love that it's a story that I can follow too. Amtuzehra has provided a vision for what she hopes to achieve. This is something that we can all get behind.
