Our linen garments are pre-washed for softness and minimal shrinkage. To keep your linen looking beautiful for years:

• Machine wash cold (30°C / 86°F) on a gentle cycle with like colors.
• Use mild, eco-friendly detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
• Air dry or tumble dry on low heat. Remove promptly to minimize wrinkles.
• Iron on medium heat while slightly damp for a crisp finish — or embrace the natural wrinkles!
• Store folded in a cool, dry place. Avoid hanging heavy linen pieces for extended periods.

Linen is one of the world’s oldest and most sustainable textiles. Here’s why we chose it:

• Naturally Sustainable: Flax requires far less water than cotton, grows without excessive pesticides, and every part of the plant is used — zero waste.
• Thermoregulating: Hollow flax fibers naturally wick moisture and allow air circulation. Keeps you cool in summer, warm in winter.
• Hypoallergenic & Antibacterial: Linen is gentle on sensitive skin, resists bacteria growth, and naturally repels dust.
• Durable & Gets Better With Age: Unlike cotton which wears out, linen becomes softer and more lustrous with each wash. A well-made linen garment can last decades.
• Biodegradable: At the end of its long life, linen returns to the earth without leaving microplastics behind.

Our made-to-order model is at the heart of our commitment to sustainability and quality.

• Zero Overproduction: We only cut and sew what you order. No unsold inventory ends up in landfills.
• Quality Over Quantity: Each piece receives individual attention from skilled artisans, ensuring the highest level of craftsmanship.
• Fair Labor Practices: Without the pressure of mass production deadlines, our seamstresses work at a humane, sustainable pace.
• Conscious Consumption: The 3-4 week wait encourages mindful purchasing. You're buying something you'll treasure — not impulse-buy.

Production timeline: After placing your order, our team cuts and sews your garment (1-2 weeks), followed by quality inspection, pre-washing, and careful packaging before shipping (1-2 weeks).

Q: How do I choose the right size?
Refer to our Size Guide linked above the Add to Cart button. Each product page includes specific measurements. Our linen is designed for a relaxed, comfortable fit — if you prefer a more fitted look, consider sizing down.

Q: Will the color match what I see on screen?
We photograph our garments in natural light and calibrate our monitors for color accuracy. However, screen settings vary. The Color Guide link shows detailed reference photos.
