Now based in London, UK, I import quality linen products, including bedlinen, tablecloths, napkins, tea towels and cushions from my native Russia to sell on line. I feel that I am not only providing top quality
items for my customers, but I'm also contributing to the health of our Planet.
I am very happy to introduce Russian linen to you, which, unlike cotton, needs almost no pesticides or fertilizers. It lasts about ten times longer than cotton. You can pass it from one
generation to the next. Using linen bed sheets you might do more for the preservation of our world.
As a young girl in the former Soviet Union, I was brought up with a love and respect for a national industry that continues to produce up to 90% of the world's linen. My memories of treasured family pieces that had been handed down through generations stand testament to my passion for a culture and a product that still leads the world in quality and intricacy of design.
'Northern Silk', as linen is known in Russia, has long been admired for its fine finishes, delicate embroidery and outstanding value. It has a unique quality and feel...
Wide Range Ltd, was recently founded in 2005 and based in London, UK. We now trade on line under the name ALENSKA
My Background
I moved to London over 6 years ago and found my life to be joyful and a hundred per cent fulfilled. I came to this magnificent world from wild land of tigers, from the town surrounded by savage taiga and the Pacific. From the place
where Trans-Siberian Railway has its final stop, from the End of the World... I am from Vladivostok
My Interests
I love wild nature (non-existent on this tiny island), but cannot stay away from cities more than for two days... I love civilization. Love theater, opera, ballet, art fairs and... fashion. Yes, I love spending money on my outfits, especially shoes... I rarely
can buy just one pair of them. To look glamorous to me as natural as use umbrellas under the rain to the rest of human race.
My true love in this world is my 11-years old daughter Eva who is not as much of a child to me as a real reliable friend.
