ESTABLISHING the KING in the U NITED KINGDOM
King of Cotton was established in the UK during April 1995 , having been originally founded in the town of Gallarate , Northern Italy in 1880 as ‘ Re di Cotone ’, the Italian for ' King of Cotton ’.
At that time , Re di Cotone was owned and run by Alceste Pasta . When Alceste retired one of his closest partners , Signore Pastorelli , took over ownership of Re di Cotone . The Pastorelli family run the Italian business to this day and continue to supply outstanding cotton products throughout Italy to both retail and major commercial companies .
It was in 1995 that Hector James Gauld , asked his brother in law , Paolo Pastorelli for permission to use the King of Cotton brand in the United Kingdom with the aim of supplying Hotels with premium products , principally from Italy but also sourced from around the world .
So began UK ’ s very own ' King of Cotton ’. Over the years King of Cotton developed a reputation for providing high quality cotton products , at fair prices with a high level of service .
Demand grew across the Hotel sector and with guests making enquiries as to the source of the bathrobes and towels in their rooms , hotels began making these and other King of Cotton branded items available for sale . The King of Cotton retail experience was born .
Momentum gathered , and in 2003 the King of Cotton website was launched , making a wide range of quality products available to all who desired difficult to find , premium products , at corporate prices .
