Just had a look at your post history, because the question was so odd.
Given how you've spent the past decade obsessing over the product countries of origin, and avoiding anything from China or Eastern Europe, shouldn't you already have a good idea of this by now, and know better than anyone else here?
Otherwise, walk into the most expensive department stores you can find and ask there. I wouldn't think that you'd find much in the way of British textiles though (does that industry even exist these days?)
How far back through the manfacturing process does you insistence on Europeanness stretch?
If it includes the fibres themselves, remember that no cotton or silk (afaik) is commercially produced in Europe - Irish (or French?) linen might be a possibility, British wool is still a thing, I believe, or whatever you want will need to be synthetic.
Raw cotton cloth are manufactured in Asia. But the further process in dyeing, printing, etc are conducted in Europe that makes the difference in quality completely from the cotton sheet produced in China.
Last year I bought the bed cover sheet including pillow cover, made in France, in Sogo Departmental Store. It is clearly labelled in the bed cover sheet and pillow cover, not with a paper label nor only indicated on the packing. Now I'm searching for whether there is any specialty shop selling bed cover sheet of high quality.
We use Frette mostly, they are good but expensive. Perhaps you can get it cheaper if you call the store in Italy directly and order? I know they can ship to HK at least, we did that from the Milan store.
If you want a cheap option with decent quality I would recommend a friends brand Juniper who sells beddings online. Very good quality for the price.
A "MADE IN" label does not means anything.... All raw materials or finished materials can all come from China or others parts of the world. But as long the final assembly is made in the country or even 1 or 2 last parts from the country are added to the assembly sent from China or others parts of the world then its authorized to add the label "MADE IN", unfortunately the law is like this in France.....
Look at following International definition, how "Made In" applied;
1)
Country of origin
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Country_of_origin
2)
Rules of origin
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rules_of_origin
It happens the other way round in some places. Products completely made in China are further processed SOLELY attaching a libel made in other western countries.
