Know before you buy
This certification guarantees that the linen is grown and processed entirely in Europe according to strict environmental and social standards. It ensures high-quality, traceable fibers that are durable and sustainably produced.
No, the linen has been pre-washed during the manufacturing process to ensure a soft, supple texture from the very first use. It provides a comfortable, high-quality feel that remains gentle on the skin.
Linen is naturally durable and easy to maintain. We recommend machine washing at 60°C and avoiding fabric softeners, which can reduce the fiber's natural absorbency over time.
Yes, linen is naturally more absorbent than cotton and dries significantly faster, making it an excellent choice for a hand towel. The jacquard weave adds a slight texture that further enhances its drying performance.
Because the pattern is jacquard woven rather than printed, the design is integrated into the fabric structure itself. This ensures the nature-inspired motifs remain clear and vibrant even after repeated laundering.
