LINEN. OUR SIGNATURE MEDIUM

Linen comes from the flax plant. Flax is an eco-friendly, resilient crop that produces strong fibres that are woven into linen fabric. It’s a naturally sustainable crop, requiring minimal water and pesticides to produce, much less than cotton, whilst also yielding useful by products you may be familiar with such as flax seeds and flax oil. The flax is then dyed and woven into fabric we know as linen.

Linen weight and quality is not measured in thread count, instead we measure GSM (grams per square meter), literally the weight of the fabric. Most linen bedding will sit between 140 and 220 GSM and as you would expect a higher GSM will indicate a thicker weight fabric. We’ve found the optimum GSM is 165, ideal for strong yet breathable linen.

The European Flax™ certification guarantees that we sustainably source our premium linen fibers from Western Europe without the use of irrigation or GMOs. This rigorous standard ensures strict adherence to environmental best practices while cultivating the world's finest, highly durable fabric for your home.

All our pieces are OEKO-TEX® certified, and therefore healthy and safe, so an essential aspect of what we consider quality to be is assured. This certification ensures the manufacturer, and the products they produce, have been tested against a stringent global standard, and that there are no traces of over 100 substances commonly used during the production process which can be harmful to human health.

Our products are expertly crafted by specialist manufacturing partners in Portugal and China who share our commitment to quality and sustainability. We partner with these world-class manufacturers for their centuries of expertise and craftsmanship to ensure every piece meets our high standards.
