Launched in 1994 by Chrissie Rucker OBE, The White Company’s mission is to create stylish products predominantly in white, combining the highest quality with affordable prices. Every piece is designed to stand the test of time and exquisitely produced, with incredible attention to detail, from the hand-worked stitching on the Santorini bed linen to the perfect fit of the jeans. All natural materials are carefully selected, such as wood, wool, leather and linen, which become more beautiful with wear and use, making their design truly timeless. The brand also partners with certification bodies to enhance biodiversity, animal welfare, community wellbeing, and reduce chemical impact.
