With innovation and attention to detail at the heart of our DNA, RKF Luxury Linen designs, produces and manufactures world-class linen for luxury hotels and the beauty and wellness industry. Since launching in 2000, we’ve equipped over 26,000 clients in 77 countries across the globe, including : 14,000 hotels – predominately 4- and 5-star destinations, 9,000 spas directly – as well as 2,000 additional spas via cosmetic brands, 3,000 exclusive bespoke creations for private projects.

French Maison

The fabulous story of the House of RKF began 20 years ago when Riadh Bouaziz started making a name for himself in the design and manufacture of household linen for luxury spas and hotels. Originally from Sfax in Tunisia, his passion for the magical worlds of fashion and hospitality was sparked at an early age. He decided to transform the traditional textile industry by designing bespoke creations of the highest quality that would be unique to each brand for both hotels and spas. Our vision is to bring the experience of “luxury” to linen, something that was, until now, non-existent within major hotels.

To ensure growth, we rely on the know-how of our workforce. Although our company is relatively young, it readily reminds us that we have inherited craftsmanship whose roots date back to 1834. The client relationship is also carefully nurtured. We do not limit ourselves to providing prestigious clients with impeccable quality bathrobes, bedding, tablecloths and other dressings for massage tables. We build a longstanding relationship by advising and accompanying our clients, so their projects generate added value.

RKF’s international reknown and presence in the most beautiful Palace hotels is in part due to our French signature. Unlike other players in the global textile market, we, the House of RKF, focused, right from the very beginning, on the quality of our offering and ‘Made in France’ products that adhere to a sense of ethics.

This strong added value combines the wealth of craft production techniques with technologies at the service of even more innovative and respectful, lighter weight and softer textiles. The creation of Haute-Couture linen items draws inspiration from the History of France, the cradle of fashion, and from the History of Art. The elegance, originality and comfort of our products embody the true “French Art of Living” that is highly coveted by the international clientele. RKF has carved out a leading position in the design and manufacture of household linen for luxury hotels and the beauty & wellness industry.

Innovation and Haute-Couture are the two fundamentals defining our DNA.

Fashion Show

In March 2018 at Place Vendôme in Paris, RKF staged a spectacular fashion show called UTOPIA as part of the Paris Fashion Week. This project, the only one of its kind worldwide, combined fashion, the luxury hotel industry and cosmetic brands.

The 300 VIP guests were able to discover the latest Haute-Couture creations by RKF, like the revisited trench coat, bathrobes bedecked with feathers (in a nod to hotel pillows) and, as in every major fashion show, the grand finale presented a sumptuous bridal gown combining different materials like a patchwork.

Innovative fabrics

At RKF’s, we especially relies on innovation, audacity and creativity that form an integral part of our DNA; this is expressed in many different ways. We consecrate a significant part of our revenue to innovation and also Research & Development through our specific in-house department. In 2017, we won the Golden A’ Design Award for “Timeless®”. Our CEO, Riadh Bouaziz explains, “We needed two years to develop this new fabric that is both more resistant and lighter while delivering absorption capacities that are 5 times greater than a classic terry cloth.”

These intrinsic qualities not only provide more comfort and generate 80% savings in laundry costs because bathrobes are not as voluminous (which, by the way, is also a positive aspect in terms of sustainable development as more bathrobes can be machine-washed at the same time), they also encourage the creation of new bathrobe designs.
So RKF designers created an elegant bathrobe that resembles a trench coat, a fashion item in its own right. It was, for that matter, under the title “Innovative fabric for elegant bathrobes” that we won its award.

Dreamsoft® is another fabric developed by RKF, already mentioned in the Spa & Wellness section. Its characteristics earn unanimous support for the following reasons :

• Lighter than terry toweling but with the same qualities of absorption.
• Up to 40% savings on laundry costs, compared to classic toweling fabric.
• Over 60% higher quality than classic toweling fabric. Silky to the touch, incomparably ultra-soft.

RKF Patents

Our company values are proximity, responsiveness and flexibility. RKF can answer each client’s request thanks to our unique expertise in textiles, an in-house design team and a large range of fabrics. Among this range, the three key fabrics developed and patented are :

• DreamSoft : A double-sided fabric, one side for softness and the other for absorption. A product that cuts maintenance costs by 50% thanks to its lightness. This is the fabric that earmarked our success; a reference setting the standards in terms of elegance and comfort.
• Timeless® : A new material launched in 2018, this fabric is 5 times more absorbent than classic terry and its lifespan is 17 times higher. This fabric was recognized at the ESPA Awards as an innovative spa concept.
• MicroFeel : Another new material with a peach-skin feel producing soft, light and easy-care fabric. This is a reliable alternative thanks to its rapid drying and attractive price.
