Material: 100% GOTS certified organic linen.

 

• Our linen grows in Normadie, France, under the care of a group of farmers who have dedicated the last 10 years to perfecting the art of organic linen farming.
• Scutching is performed locally, fibres are then sent to Poland to be spun into yarn.
• The yarn is then sent to Belgium, where it’s woven in a C02 neutral mill and dyed with GOTS certified low-impact dyes.

 

Our Belgian linen mill has been creating linen since 1864 and is part of the European network Masters of Linen.
