The Tale of Two Sisters

We are Molly and Harriet, number one and number three, in a line of four sisters.

We lived in a mad house... 4 girls, 2 guinea pigs, 4 cats, about 87 different fish over the years, a tortoise, a horse, and our parents. It was brilliant.

We grew up and worked hard, becoming a Textiles Designer (Molly) and a Marketing Manager (Harriet). We gained a combined 30 years of experience in bedroom high street retail, working with some of the most famous and respected brands. We’ve seen the highs and the lows of retailing, and have travelled the world to find the best products. Most importantly, we have been making beautiful bedding for many years, and we know what's what when it comes to comfort and quality.

Working together for the first time in 1994.

Still working together in 2024.

During our careers we have worked together, starting as waitresses in our local restaurant when Harriet was only 14, then apart, then together again, which feels just right. We had always planned and dreamed of doing something of our own, knowing that we wanted to do things a little differently.

In March 2013, over a cup of coffee, and some enthusiastic encouragement, Secret Linen Store was born. And here we are… beautiful bed linen and top quality luxury bedding at fair and honest prices. We have worked as suppliers and retailers, so we knew we wanted to create a brand that is honest and transparent, benefiting both our customers, the factories we work with, with as little negative impact on the planet as we can.

Bespoke Design

Molly designs everything in house and love textiles. We never compromise on quality and visit our European factories frequently to make sure you have great value, all year round. We love bedtimes, and sliding into top quality cotton or linen bedding (Especially after a fresh wash) is one of life's small pleasures. We want you to get that same feeling we do, night after night.

We have found the best factories in Portugal and the UK, enabling us to offer beautiful, well-made bedding, curtains, and home accessories. We focus on quality, not price and source our products from the best makers in the world.

In 2023 we became B Corp certified, which was the cushions on top of our very comfy bed. The process to become certified questions every part of our business, and looks in detail at how we, as a business, puts people and purpose first. B Corp is entirely voluntary, which means we wear the badge with a lot of pride and a score of 113 points which makes us a good example to others and makes our Secret Linen Store a great place to work.

Our Growing Secret Linen Family

From the two of us to a team of 35 bedmakers, including our middle sister Rosie who joined our leadership team in 2022, Harriet’s husband, our brother in law and a mother and daughter duo, we have created quite the Secret Linen Store family. Located on the sunny south coast, our small team are a credit to us, and we couldn’t do it all without them.

All our parcels are hand picked with love by our Parcel Queens and Kings from our UK Bed quarters.
