Linen  

An age-old and revered fabric, stands as a symbol of natural simplicity and a beacon of sustainability within the textile realm.

Derived from the flax plant, linen boasts inherent eco-friendliness. Flourishing with minimal water and pesticide usage compared to cotton, flax thrives in rain-fed conditions, embodying sustainability by drawing strength from the earth without excessive irrigation. Utilising the entire flax plant in linen production reflects our commitment to a circular economy, leaving no waste behind.

The journey of our linen, from plant to product, harmonizes tradition with modern ecological values. Undergoing minimal processing, our linen retains its biodegradable qualities while preserving the natural texture that imparts the timeless charm unique to linen.

Beyond its eco-friendly qualities, linen stands out for its remarkable durability. Strengthening with each wash and enduring for generations, linen defies the prevalent throwaway culture in today’s fast fashion industry, minimising the need for frequent replacements and reducing environmental impact.

In choosing linen  its low environmental footprint and cultural significance. By incorporating this ancient, noble textile into our designs, we extend to our customers not just a product but a commitment: a commitment to lasting quality, unwavering sustainability, and enduring style.

Linen perfectly aligns with our sustainability ethos, as we create products not just for the present but with a vision for a greener future.

Hemp

Stands out in the natural fiber realm for its extraordinary strength and durability. This resilient material boasts a tensile strength that is up to three times that of cotton, making it supremely suited for everyday use and capable of withstanding the rigours of wear and tear. This durability does not come at the expense of comfort or luxury; hemp naturally softens over time, offering a texture that is both pleasant to touch and robust enough to protect your valued possessions.

Moreover, hemp is a bastion of sustainability. It enriches the soil in which it's planted, leaving it in better condition for future cultivation. Known for its low environmental impact, hemp grows rapidly and requires significantly less water and no pesticides, making it a champion of eco-friendly agriculture. The fibers are naturally resistant to mold and ultraviolet light, ensuring that the fabric maintains its integrity and appearance over time without the need for synthetic protectants.

In our quest for sustainable excellence, we've chosen vintage, raw hemp for our products. Each one of them is crafted from handwoven hemp, made using age-old methods that have been passed down through generations. This process not only gives each piece with a unique history but also ensures that the fabric's environmental footprint is minimal.

Our vintage hemp also excels in environmental stewardship, embodying the principle of 'reduce, reuse, recycle.' By repurposing existing materials, we not only reduce the demand for new resources but also honor the work of artisans who have crafted these textiles with skills honed over lifetimes. 

Through the use of hemp, we create products that not only stand the test of time but also contribute positively to the test of sustainability.
