Standard Fiber, supplier to the home textile and hospitality markets, has established a licensing partnership with Highclere Castle, enabling the company the rights to develop and distribute a broad assortment of bed, bath and pet products all designed with the distinctive English elegance and charm the famous estate exudes.

The Castle and its grounds are recognized as the location of the “Downton Abbey” television series and movies. Today, it is the private home of the Lord and Lady Carnarvon, who open the estate for tours and guests to enjoy a truly regal experience.

These licensed products include sheet sets, towels and bath accessories, bathrobes, throws, blankets, pillowcases, duvet covers, fashion and basic bedding, pet beds and accessories.
