Sales Advisor
ChristyWelcome to Our World
Proud creators of beautiful home textiles since 1850, Christy is an unmistakably British brand born in Manchester. We are passionate about our collections, both past and present, honouring a rich heritage and an innovative spirit. Through meticulous attention to detail that runs through every thread, we bring joy to everyday living, transforming routines into revitalising rituals.
Established by the Christy family in 1850, our journey began with the introduction of terry towelling fabric, an innovation previously unseen in Great Britain. This pioneering move helped Christy gain recognition across the UK, including the Royal Family. Today, our brand continues to represent exceptional British craftsmanship, seen in luxury hotels and on Wimbledon’s Centre Court.
Over the years, we’ve expanded our collections across towels, bed linen, robes, and more. Now part of the global powerhouse Welspun Group, we continue to evolve with cutting-edge technology, new product categories, and global reach, all while staying true to our legacy of design-led, luxurious home textiles.
