About our fabrics
Our linen source
Since 2014 we have sourced our linen from a small family owned Mill in Lithuania. The flax is sustainably grown in Europe and spun by European companies. It's woven and finished with an eco-friendly enzyme wash at the Mill in Lithuania. We love the mill we get our linen from! We've gone through thick and thin together.
Caring for our textiles
- wash with the regular laundry
- cold water
- no bleach!
- dry in the dryer or on the line
- reduce wrinkles by stretching the fabric in all directions
Painted, printed and dyed pieces
We work with amazing artists to breathe new life into our rental linens after they've gone to one too many parties. All of our collaborators share our commitment to honestly sustainable textiles and circularity. We're thrilled to introduce you to them and to offer their work in our store.
New yardage remnants
Our founder creates one of kind piecework textiles with new yardage remnants. Since 2015, she has sourced "off-cuts" from another linen seller. These are brand new pieces of linen rescued from the cutting room floor. Because they're uncommon; practices like this are difficult to implement and relatively expensive. But that's ok with us because they are a critical part of reducing textile waste!
